Question
Write scientific reason.
It is beneficial to carry electrical energy in AC form as it is carried over long distances.
Solution
- There is minimum power loss, when electrical energy is carried over long distances in the form of AC.
- Hence, it is beneficial to carry electrical energy in AC form as it is carried over long distances.

Set up the circuit shown in Figure again. Move the key to ‘ON’ position and watch carefully in which direction the compass needle gets deflected. Switch ‘OFF’ the current. Now keeping rest of the circuit intact, reverse the connections at the terminal of the cell. Again switch ‘on’ the current. Note the direction in which the needle gets deflected. Think of an explanation.
