Loss of energy in DC and loss reduction in AC circuits

[Daniel2244]

Homework Statement

similarities and differences of AC and DC current in simple circuits. Outline using diagrams and a clear desciption the loss of energy in DC circuits and power loss reduction of AC when transmitted.

Homework Equations

N/A

The Attempt at a Solution

DC loses energy over long distances because it gets converted into heat energy because of the resistance of the wires. AC loses less energy becasue the voltage can be 'bumped' by step-up transformers so less energy is lost over long distances and step-down tansformers are used to decrease the voltage at the destination.

1) What is the literal problem statement -- what is asked from you
2) What is the context ? microelectronics, physics, power industry ?
3) What are the relevant equations ? You don't maention any, but it seems you do makae use of some
4) You haven't made a quantitative attempt nor a concrete qualitative attempt

I don't need to use equations as I am descibing the difference between AC and DC current. Also the context is physics. I've also edited original post.
