what are problems of energy loss when transmitting electricity? how can these problems be solved/prevented?

Question

please your answers must be related to physics

Answer 1

The biggest problem is line impedance, which is the resistance inherent in the conductor, measured in ohms per unit of length. You can address this is three primary ways.

First, transmit the power in extremely high voltages. According to Ohm's law the power loss would be inversely proportional to the square of the voltage, which is why higher voltage results in less line loss.

Second, use conductors with a smaller line impedance, Better conductors would include gold, platinum, and certain ceramic super conductors. But as you can see from the list they are very expensive alternatives and have a relatively low tensile strength which makes them poor choices for reason other than power loss.

Third, limit power transmission distance by building power plants closer to their primary draw location.

Answer 2

The big one is ohmic heating. There is always some resistance in the wires.

You can reduce that by transmitting at higher voltages/lower currents.

Answer 3

power loss in transport of the electrical powered energy is that --- there is resistnce in electrical energy carring wires (alluminium in INDIA in many circumstances) to conquer this resistance a number of the flexibility expenced & there is loss of power. it is minimised by potential of using wires having low resistnce yet there is issue that those wires are costly & wires could be stolen

Answer 4

Higher voltages, lower currents, and segmenting the paths to shorten them over distance.
