Question

Assertion (A): The power generated at the generating station is directly transmitted to the consumers at 11 kV.

Reason (R): Before transmission of power from the generating station, its voltage is raised to reduce the loss of energy in the form of heat in the transmission line wires.

विकल्प

• Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).

• Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).

• Assertion (A) is false, but Reason (R) is true.

• Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false.

Answer 1

Assertion (A) is false, but Reason (R) is true.

Explanation:

Power is not directly transmitted to consumers at 11 kV. The voltage is raised before transmission so that less energy is lost as heat in the transmission wires.
