eureka!

Q) Explain why energy losses in the transmission cables are lower when the voltage is
high.


Ans) high voltage means) low(er) current (but V is directly prop. to R!)
for given supply power
(low(er) current means) less heat/thermal energy (generated in cables) OR P = I2R (?)
for given resistance (of cables)
cables heated by current

Explain...

Explain...
Well since voltage is inversely proportional to I, it will mean that a high voltage will cause a low current
Low current flow will cause less resistance in the cables as less heat is generated. Thus less power is lost

For all those cheating or want to cheat, please do not cheat. You are merely destroying the efforts of all the other hard-working people. Even more important is the fact that cheating is Haram, it is mentioned in a Hadith;
'One who cheats is not amongst us'

Won't measures be taken against cheating? It's not that easy, is it?
