To minimize the power loss in the conducting wires

Reference no: EM13666828

To minimize the power loss in the conducting wires, would it be better to deliver 100 Watts of power in the form of a 1Amp current at 100 Volts or a 100A current at 1 Volt? Describe (assume that the conducting wire has a resistance of 0.01Ω and calculate the power loss in each case).
