Question
For two statements are given-one labelled Assertion (A) and the other labelled Reason (R). Select the correct answer to these questions from the codes (a), (b), (c) and (d) as given below.
  1. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
  2. Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
  3. A is true but R is false.
  4. A is false and R is also false.
Assertion: Long distance transmission of A.C. is carried out at extremely high voltage.
Reason: For large distance, voltage has to be large.

Answer

  1. A is true but R is false.
Explanation:
The transmission is done at high voltage due to which current through the wire is reduced. By reduction in current corresponding dissipation of energy is also reduced $\big($as $\text{H}\propto\text{I}^2\text{R}\big).$ If transmission is done at low voltage then we have to use thick wire in order to reduce the dissipation of energy. This increase the cost of transmission lines wires. In order to reduce both energy dissipation and cost of transmission wire, transmission is done at high voltage by using step-up transformers.
