Question

Where should the property "little voltage loss across long distances" be placed in the Venn Diagram?

A) direct current
B) alternating current
C) both alternating and direct current
D) neither alternating nor direct current

Answer 1

B) alternating current

Step-by-step explanation:

Alternating current does not lose voltage when traveling long distances. This is one of the primary reasons it is used across the country.

Answer 2

B) alternating current

Step-by-step explanation:

Alternating currents are different from direct current. These form of currents are used to transport power from generating stations over large distances.

• Alternating current is a current that reverses direction periodically.
• The voltage also reverses and leads to little loss in voltage.
• This current reversal makes them desirable for long distance transmission coupled with the little loss in voltage.
• Transformers used to change the voltage of these wave forms.
• The lesser loss in voltage makes AC desirable for long distance transmission.
