. Common household appliances are rated at 110 V, but power companies deliver voltage in the kilovolt range and then step the vo

ltage down using transformers to 110 V to be used in homes. You will learn in later chapters that transformers consist of many turns of wire, which warm up as current flows through them, wasting some of the energy that is given off as heat. This sounds inefficient. Why do the power companies transport electric power using this method

Answer: High voltage transmission minimizes energy losses during electricity transmission.

Explanation:

When electricity is to be transmitted over a long distance, high voltage transmission is preferred to minimize energy losses due to heat.

The higher the transmission voltage, the lower the current and the lesser the resitance in the wire and the lesser the energy lost due to heat during transmission.

High voltage transmission in kilowatts enables light weight cables to be used for long distance electricity transmission.

This explains why, even though only 110 V may be required at home by some appliances, but electricity is transmitted in kilovolts and often require a stepdown transformer

A power meter is a device fitted to a bike that measures the power output of the rider.

Most commonly, power meters use strain gauges that deflect slightly when a force is applied. By measuring this torque and combining it with angular velocity, power (measured in watts) can be calculated.

light waves are first transmitted through the ________ at the front of the eye and enter an opening called the ________ before s
viva [34]

The transmission of light waves is usually done through cornea of the eyes, then move through another opening which is regarded as pupil before it will get to the retina.

  • Light waves can be regarded as moving energy which contains microscopic particles known as photons.
  • The vision of the eye can be completed through the light wave passing through the components of the eyes and this process goes thus;
  • Light will move through the (cornea) which is situated at the front area of the eyes into lens.
  • Then both the cornea and the lens give room for the focusing of the light rays to the retina which is situated at the back of the eye .
  • Then through the help of the cells in the retina, the light will be absorbed and then be converted to  electrochemical impulses and then transfer it to the brain as well as optic nerve.

Therefore, light wave are form of tiny microscopic particles.
