Physics for IGCSE & O level - Magnets And Currents (Section 11 - No. 48)

Why are step-up transformers used in power transmission?
To decrease the current and reduce power loss.
To increase the current.
To decrease the voltage and increase safety.
To generate more power.

Explanation

Stepping up the voltage reduces the current, which minimizes power loss in transmission lines.
