| Q.23 | Which of the following statements is NOT true about AC power transmission? | |
| Ans | A. The AC voltage can be stepped up or stepped down by transformers with ease and efficiency. This permits to transmit power at high voltages and distribute it at safe potentials. | |
| B. Due to skin effect in the AC system, the effective resistance of the line is increased. | ||
| C. The construction of an AC transmission line is less complicated than that of a DC transmission line. | ||
| D. AC line has capacitance. Therefore, there is a continuous loss of power due to charging current even when the line is open. |
Correct Ans Provided: C
