The primary reason that power is transmitted at high voltages is to increase efficiency. As electricity is transmitted over long distances, there are inherent energy losses along the way. High voltage transmission minimizes the amount of power lost as electricity flows from one location to the next. How? The higher the voltage, the lower the current. The lower the current, the lower the resistance losses in the conductors. And when resistance losses are low, energy losses are low also. Electrical engineers consider factors such as the power being transmitted and the distance required for transmission when determining the optimal transmission voltage

No expanded working has been attached for this question yet. The verified answer is Option B.

Power drawn by the resistor = IV = (2)(3) = 24W = 24J/s Energy dissipated = power \times time = (24)(5)(60) = 7200J

Weight in Air = 45N Weight in Water = 15N R.D = \(\frac{45}{45-15}\) = 1.50

Every form of energy is measured in joules (J).

Elastic modulus is the ratio of pressure (stress) applied to a body to the resistance (strain) produced by the body. = \(\frac{stress}{strain}\)

The height of the mercury column in a simple barometer is calculated as the atmospheric pressure.

Inertia is the resistance of the object to any change in its motion, including a change in direction. An object will stay still or keep moving at the same speed and in a straight line, unless it is acted upon by an external unbalanced force.

In SHM, the body must have acceleration in a direction opposite to the displacement, and the acceleration must be directly proportional to the displacement. Also, the acceleration must be directed towards its mean position. This is not the case with a football on the pitch. Also, in SHM, the restoring force must act towards the equilibrium point.

The pressure of the water is much greater deeper down and the dam needs to be thick at the bottom so that it is strong enough to withstand this larger pressure.

Total force exerted on the block = (10 - 1)N =9N Force = mass x acceleration 9 = m x 1.5 m = 9/1.5 = 6kg

The quantities Efficiency, Dielectric constant and Refractive index are dimensionless.

\(R_{max} = \frac{u^{2}}{g}\) Hence, \(g = \frac{u^{2}}{R_{max}}\)

Potential energy is the energy that is stored in an object due to its position relative to some zero position.

The rate of cooling of liduid according to Newton's law of cooling depends on: - Temperature of the liquid - Temperature of the enclosure - The area of the exposed surface - The nature and extent of the surface of the containing vessel
