Advantages of underground transmission?
Underground cables take up less right-of-way than overhead lines, have lower visibility, and are less affected by bad weather. Underground lines are strictly limited by their thermal capacity, which permits less overload or re-rating than overhead lines. Long underground AC cables have significant capacitance, which may reduce their ability to provide useful power to loads beyond 50 miles. Long underground DC cables have no such issue and can run for thousands of miles.

What is Light emitting diode?:eek: I haven't studied it, couldn't find it in the book
it is an diode which emits light when current passes through it,simple
just as diode it lets 1 direction of current to flow through it :)
and yes the question can of LED's and tell them it is efficient then filament lamp,takes very less energy and emits less heat/internal energy so less is wasted

A diode that emits light. It has p-type and n-type junctions, and when its in forward bias, the current that flows through it causes the electrons to move from high energy level to low energy level. This emits light.
