50 Hz has an edge over 60 Hz as it will have less skin effect and therefore line resistance will be less. Therefore, voltage drop as well as unwanted loss of energy in the line will be less. That means dip in supply voltage at user end will be less and efficiency will be more.
Answer
The difference in 'AC resistance' due to the effect of skin effect between 50/60 Hz is insignificant, just as the increase in inductive reactance, or the decrease in capacitive reactance is insignificant.
The answer to your question is that the two frequencies simply resulted from the independent development of electricity distribution networks in different parts of the world, and there is no inherent advantage of one frequency of the other.

Transformers for 60 Hz are smaller than for 50 Hz, assuming a given power rating. That is because the iron magnetic core can be reduced in size by 20% for 60 Hz, for the same peak magnetic flux density.

Can you use a 60Hz transformer in a 400Hz low power system?
There's no problem except that the transformer will be more massive than necessary. It will work at the same voltage and current, but there is less iron loss, so the voltage rating can be increased by a maximum of 15-20% and the current rating can be increased by 15-20% also. But if this is in an aircraft or other safety-critical application, do not overrate the transformer.
Is there anyway to get 120V 60hz from a 100V 50hz power supply?
A motor-generator or a solid state power converter can do this.Motor-generators are an old electromechanical technology. In this case you would use a 240V 50Hz synchronous motor and a 110V 60Hz generator with their shafts connected so the motor turns the generator.Solid state power converters use a high power rectifier to convert the input AC to DC, a precisely tuned oscillator to set the output frequency, and a high power class AB push-pull amplifier powered by the high voltage DC and driven by the oscillator to generate the output voltage.
How t convert high frequency into low frequency?
To covert a high frequency to a low one, we use flip-flops.
Can a 220V x 40W bulb bought in India used in America where supply standard is 110V x 60Hz and does the power consumed varies?
If you can use it in your lamp it will be a 20 watt bulb
What can use to change a 110v 60cycle inverter 50cycle?
You can use a frequency converter to change the output frequency of the inverter from 60Hz to 50Hz. This will allow you to use devices that are rated for 50Hz frequency with your 110V 60Hz inverter. Just make sure to select a frequency converter that is compatible with the power output of your inverter.
Can you use a 220v-60hz microwave in Australia?
Yes, using a 220v-60hz microwave in Australia is fine. The voltage of alternating current supplied to homes in Australia is 220v. The frequency of the voltage is 50hz.
What frequency range does the US use for FM broadcasting?
60hz frequency is being used in us
Can you use a US 60Hz bulb in the UK?
No, it is not recommended to use a US 60Hz bulb in the UK where the standard frequency is 50Hz. The difference in frequency can affect the bulb's performance, potentially leading to flickering or shorter lifespan. It is best to use bulbs that are designed for the specific electrical standards of the country.
Why frequency in power systems has to be kept constant for load?
it doesnt have to be kept constant but is convenient little synchronous motors in clocks transformer core materials depend on frequency airplanes use 400hz for less iron and weight in transformers higher frequencies conductors are hollow and silver plated or clad easier to synchronize generators if they are at the same frequency
Under what circumstances should you use a grouped frequency distribution instead of a regular frequency distibution?
You should use a grouped frequency when you have a wide range of scores.
What will happen if you use a 220 240 VAc 50Hz iron to 220 240 AC 60Hz?
It should work with no problems, since the frequency does not affect the work or the iron heater.
Can you run a 220v 60Hz machine on 240v 50Hz supply?
Yes, it may be possible but it is not recommended. The difference in frequency can affect the operation of the machine and potentially damage it. It is best to use the machine with the specified voltage and frequency to ensure optimal performance and safety.
Why in ships you use 60Hz instead of 50Hz?
In the USA, and countries influenced by the USA, AC mains power is generated at 60Hz. In Europe and the UK, and countries influence by them, it is generated at 50Hz. This low frequency, was the easiest to generate with machinery at the time the national grid was developed. It made sense to round the frequency to 60Hz as this could then be used for time keeping easily, there being 60 seconds to a minute and 60 minutes to the hour. The European adoption of 50Hz, probably stems from the development of the metric system. 50 being easily divided into 100 without a fraction.
Can you use 230V 50Hz AV reciver to a 220V 60Hz?
Yes, you can use a 230V 50Hz AV receiver in a 220V 60Hz electrical system. The small difference in voltage and frequency should not cause any significant issues or damage to the AV receiver. However, it's always a good idea to check the manufacturer's recommendations or consult with a professional to ensure compatibility.
Can you plug a 230V 50Hz bread maker bought in Germany into a 220V 60Hz outlet in Manila Philippines?
It is generally safe to use a 230V 50Hz appliance in a 220V 60Hz outlet, as the difference in frequency should not significantly affect the operation. Make sure to check if the appliance is dual voltage compatible and be cautious of potential power surges or overheating. However, it is always recommended to use a voltage converter or transformer for long-term use to prevent any damage to the appliance.
Can you use a high frequency machine to fade your tattoo?
Instead of fading it, go get it redone.
