Solution
The large scale transmission of electrical energy over long distances is done with the use of transformers. The voltage output of the generator is stepped-up because of reduction of current and power loss is cut down both.
Explanation:
Because the voltage is increased, the current decreases. Power loss is proportional to the square of the current. Power loss diminishes considerably as current drops.
