GCSE Science A Physics 1 Transmission of Electricity Key Words: Power: The rate of flow of energy

GCSE Science A Physics 1 Transmission of Electricity What do you remember from last lesson?

GCSE Science A Physics 1 Transmission of Electricity Power = Voltage x Current When we send electricity through a step up transformer, it increases the voltage and decreases the current This means that the power always stays the same We want to send electricity at as low a current as possible because this means less energy will be lost in the power lines as heat. Power (Watts)Voltage (Volts)Current (Amps)

GCSE Science A Physics 1 Transmission of Electricity Why do we need step down transformers? Step down transformers lower the voltage and raise the current (the power stays the same) Step down transformers lower the voltage and raise the current (the power stays the same) We need to use low voltages for safety!
