AP Physics 2hardmcq1 pt
Long-distance power transmission uses high voltage to
A.reduce current and therefore resistive losses
B.increase current
C.eliminate all losses
D.shorten the wires
Explanation
Core Concept
P_loss = I²R; raising V lowers I for the same power.
Correct Answer
Areduce current and therefore resistive losses
