Can anyone help me with problems of energy loss in transport of electricity?

Question

im doing my science and i can not find any information about what problems are there of energy loss in transport of electricity. ??? if anyone gets that help me !!! please!!

Answer 1

energy loss in transport of the electricity is that ---  there is resistnce in electricity carring wires (alluminium in INDIA usually) to overcome this resistance some of the energy expenced & there is loss of energy. It can be minimised by using wires having low resistnce but there is problem that these wires are costly & wires may be stolen

Answer 2

The wires used for electrical power transmission have some resistance; therefore, the power lost is proportional to the square of the current flowing through them (p = i**2  x r).  For this reason, it is better to transmit power at  high voltage and low current, and then step the voltage down to the required level with a transformer near the point of use.  The power loss in transmission relationship and ease of changing voltage level with a transformer is an important reason for using alternating current rather than direct current for power transmission.
