the national grid

?
state one advantage of sending electricity along overhead wires instead of underground cables.
If there is a problem with one of the wires it can easily be fixed.
1 of 14
state one disadvantage of using overhead wires instead of underground cables.
They don't look very nice.
2 of 14
transformers only work with a.c. what does that mean.
alternating couvent
3 of 14
Explain why transformers only work with a.c
They only work with a.c. as they need a changing magnetic field.
4 of 14
Give ONE reason why electricity is sent along the wires at very high voltages.
To reduce energy lost as heat.
5 of 14
what is the national grid?
It is te system where there are wires and cables to transmit electricity from power stations to the consumers
6 of 14
what equation involves current, power and voltage.
power= voltage X current
7 of 14
the input alternating voltage is known as what coil?
