Homework Statement
why is there a loss of energy in DC circuits and power loss is reduced in AC when transmitted
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
Loss of energy in a DC circuit is due to the resistance of the wire cauing the wire to heat up therefore energy is being lost by heat. Energy loss can be prevented in AC circuits when transmitted by using transformers to "boost" the voltage. The voltage can also be boosted in DC however it is more difficult.
