To Explain: The use of higher voltage lines in homes.
Answer to Problem 18Q
Higher voltages are not used in homes because they are not safe.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction: The electrical force that causes current to flow in the circuit is known as voltage. Conventional
Mainly, higher voltages supply much more energy as compared to the lower voltages. Higher voltages
Conclusion: Higher voltage lines are not safe for household wires.
