Question

How is electric energy lost during transmission of electricity?

Answer 1

The transmission over long distances creates power losses. The major part of the energy losses comes from Joule effect in transformers and power lines. The energy is lost as heat in the conductors. The overall losses between the power plant and consumers is then in the range between 8 and 15%.

Answer 2

It can be lost in a number of ways.. lost as heat in the resistors is the most common..but it can also be stored in capacitors nd such..
