Question

Why is AC current able to travel farther distances and does not loose as much energy than compared to DC current.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The reason we have used an still use AC for long distance transmission is because it is so much easier to step the voltage up at the generator and down at the use end than DC is. The reason we do this is to reduce the losses due to current flow. Every metal we use as a conducting cable has some resistance.
