What is the reason why it is better to use high voltage instead of low voltage on long distance?
Mildan18
High voltage reduces the amount of energy lost due to the resistance of the transmission material (conductor), by reducing the current. In other words, increasing voltage reduces current, and lower current means less resistance loss. Voltage and current have an inverse relationship, and later on when the electricity gets closer to the consumer, voltages can be decreased which increases the current. Increased current means higher resistance, and it is resistance that does the work.

Can honey be added in avocado juice instead of sugar?
No reason why not. It will disperse better than granulated sugar too.
Why 250 volts AC in New Zealand instead of 110 volts AC which America uses is one safer and is more energy footprint required to produce the higher voltage?
The reason for increasing the voltage in the electric network is, in fact, that it saves energy. The power dissipated in electric wiring is proportional to the square of the electric current. By increasing the voltage, the current decreases provided that the power consumption at the consumer is to remain constant. This means less loss in the electric network. For the same reason, very high voltages, hundreds of thousand volts, are used in long-distance wires. The voltage is converted using transformers when it reaches the consumers, with a relatively low power loss.
Why are condenser adjustments generally preferred over the use of the voltage control?
"When increasing the lighting, be sure to open up the diaphragm first instead of increasing the voltage on your lamp; the reason is that lamp life is greatly extended when used at low voltage." Source: Benson Microbiological Applications 11th edition pg.7

What is the reason for bulb becoming dim when connected in series?
the voltage across it is reduced, the voltage is shared with other bulbs
Why common emitter configuration is preferred?
Reason: The common Emitter mode has voltage and current gain better than the other two configurations(CB and CC). i.e it has a current gain greater than that of CC mode and greater voltage gain than that of CB mode.
The primary reason a light bulb emits light is due to?
voltage
What was the purpose of the Canadian Pacific Railway?
the reason is long distance passenger transport in Canada
How do you avoid your friends mum if they are waiting for you at school?
You did not tell us the reason for them waiting for you in school. It is better you face them and face the truth once and for all instead of running and hiding.
Why you are generating ac not dc?
question is wrong....ac is generated in alternator <<>> The most likely reason is that there is no field voltage being generated. This is controlled by the voltage regulator. Check to see if you are getting a DC field voltage. On the voltage regulator there are terminals to different pieces of equipment on the machine. Look for the terminals that are designated F1 and F2. These should have a DC voltage on them. Also look for a potentiometer that controls the field voltage. Turn it one way and the voltage will go down and turned the other way the voltage will go up. Make sure that this potentiometer is in the correct position to allow voltage to the field coils.
What is the reason for ferranti effect?
Ferranti Effect causes the receiving end voltage to be more than the sending end voltage. It occurs mainly in long transmission lines when they are lightly loaded. In this condition, the inductance of the lines becomes more resulting in increased receiving end voltage.
Powertrain Control Module plus BB Voltage Low?
Low plus bb voltage to the Power Train Module means that for some reason the voltage actually is too low. Check the battery an alternator for the proper voltage output.
