Question : Statement 1: Inadequate transmission and distribution infrastructure leads to power losses during electricity transmission.
Statement 2: Transmission losses occur due to resistance in power lines and inefficient distribution networks.
Option 1: Both statements are true.
Option 2: Statement 1 is true, and Statement 2 is false.
Option 3: Statement 1 is false, and Statement 2 is true.
Option 4: Both statements are false.
Correct Answer:
Both statements are true.
Solution : The correct answer is (a) Both statements are true.
Statement 1 accurately states that inadequate transmission and distribution infrastructure can result in power losses during the transmission of electricity. This can occur due to various factors such as resistance, voltage drops, and inefficiencies in the infrastructure.
Statement 2 complements Statement 1 by identifying the specific factors contributing to power losses. Resistance in power lines and inefficient distribution networks can lead to energy dissipation and reduced efficiency during electricity transmission.
Both statements provide accurate information about the relationship between inadequate infrastructure and power losses in transmission and distribution.
