Increased wire or cable length causes the voltage to drop, this loss of charge is converted to heat and can cause electrical fires and damage to electronics.

Why light-years are used to measure distances in the universe?
because it is the fastest way to measure in very long distances for example earth to other far away planets
What was the best way for people int the early 1800s to travel long distances?
on rivers
What was a result of the difficulty of traveling long distances in the 1800s?
Americans did not feel connected to the whole country.
In early Africa what did people use to send messages long distances?
The right way
How did people communicate over long distances?
Telegraph cables- in use since l858 Cyrus Field the principal engineer involved.
Why does a beam of light become less bright as it travels?
Because it travels long distances and if you traveled long distances you would be tired so the light is absorbed by the surroundings
Who was it to send electricity to send messages over long distances?
alexander graham bell
What is a form of concentrated light that travels in a straight line for long distances?
A non-divergent beam from a laser.
Can aluminum foil be used as a path for electricity to flow?
Yes but it's no the greatest conductor for long distances
What animal can live in fresh water and salt water and travels long distances to its place of birth?
a fish (any breed)
Optical fibers can carry light long distances because?
Optical fibers can carry light long distances because of total internal reflection, which ensures that light stays within the fiber by continuously reflecting off the inner walls. This allows for minimal loss of signal strength over long distances, making optical fibers an efficient method for transmitting light.
Why amplitude modulation used for long distances?
AM travels well over longer distances than FM is capable of, but has a lower fidelity and is more susceptible to metal, which is why it is not used as often in cities.
What happens to the electrical energy when power is transmitted through long distances?
Because wires are not perfect conductors, energy is released as heat. This is why electricity is transmitted at very high voltage and low current to reduce energy loss.
How long does it take electricity to travel from New York to Los Angeles?
Electricity travels in a vacuum at aprox. 186,000 miles per second. Now do the math!
What nm of light travels long distances?
Light with wavelengths between 1300 nm and 1550 nm, known as infrared light, is commonly used for long-distance optical communication in fiber optic networks. This wavelength range offers low signal attenuation and dispersion, allowing signals to travel further without significant loss.
How do moose travel?
The moose travels by walking. The moose has very strong legs that are built to travel long distances in a short amount of time.
What happens to a signal when transmitted over long distances?
the signal goes out of sink due to refraction
