What is the reason we prefer $A.C.$ voltage over $D.C.$ voltage for power transmission?

  • A
    $A.C.$ is cheaper to produce.
  • B
    $A.C.$ voltage can be easily stepped up or down using transformers.
  • C
    $A.C.$ is safer for human use.
  • D
    $A.C.$ does not cause energy loss.

Assertion: Long distance power transmission is done at high voltage.
Reason: At high voltage supply, power losses are less.

In a series $LR$ circuit with $X_L = R$. Power factor is $P_1$. If a capacitor of capacitance $C$ with $X_c = X_L$ is added to the circuit the power factor becomes $P_2$. The ratio of $P_1$ to $P_2$ will be :

$A$ coil,a capacitor,and an $AC$ source of $rms$ voltage $24 \,V$ are connected in series. By varying the frequency of the source,a maximum $rms$ current of $6 \,A$ is observed.
