This is commonly a problem called "voltage drop". Simply, if you have any power supplying unit connected to an electrical load, it draws an amount of electrical current based on the load value. The voltage at the supply terminals is higher than on the load terminals, this is due to the resistance (impedance) of the connection wires (cables). The more the connection resistance (more resistance means less cross-sectional area), the less the load voltage (if source voltage and load current are kept constants). Another thing that affects the load voltage, is the load current itself. If the load current increases, the load voltage decreases (if source voltage and connection resistance are kept constants).

This means that any load current or connection resistance increase mean that the load voltage will decrease. This is exactly what happens in summer. In summer the ambient air temperature is high and hence all connection network elements (wires, cables, TL...) have higher resistance. Plus, most of the air conditioning units operate in summer (higher load current) which represent a bulk load to the network.

What is th effect of Replacing a battery with one with fewer plates?

The battery voltage will be less. Batteries are arrangements of cells. The voltage of each cell is fixed depending on chemistry. Less plates means fewer cells, so the voltage produced by the battery in total will be less.


What is use of substaion near grid station?

A power substation is used to reduce the voltage from high voltage power lines to a voltage that is less dangerous that you can use in a house for example. It is less costly to transmit electrical energy over long distances using high voltage.

If you operate an incandescent light bulb at less than its rated voltage?

Since an incandescent light bulb is an appliance that has a fixed electrical resistance, operating it at less than its rated voltage means that it will draw less than its rated current and will produce less light.


A high voltage combined with a low current will deliver less power than a moderate voltage combined with a moderate current.?

Correct. Power is determined by the product of voltage and current (P = V x I). A high voltage with low current has less overall power output compared to a moderate voltage with a moderate current due to the relationship between voltage, current, and power.
