Assertion : It is advantageous to transmit electric power at high voltage.
Reason: High voltage inmplies high current.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
As P=Vi, hence for the transmission of same power, high voltage implies less current. Therefore, heat energy `(H=l^(2) Rt//4.2)` are minized if power is transmitted at high voltage.
