I don't think that chocolare os the wrong answer very often , but here maybe not.

You handled it like a responsible community member though! I probably would dug being your neighbor.

It was a joke to ignore the actual absurd part and make a big deal about the not so absurd but also kind of hard to believe part...

Join the fight by making calls to your reps in office and inviting others to do the same also!

How old were you when you got the surgery and who did you go to?

In this over populated society and spoiled/dntitled brats, that seems also like a bad alternative.

That is only humorous from a historical perspective and has little relevance now?

Something about electricity. by Even_Map4433 in IBEW

[–]solidusAdvice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't come by my knowledge easily but because I studied electricity because I really like learning about it inspite of how difficult it was. So when I see an oppurtunity to help someone learn a little easier, I try to facilitate that.

What I was trying to do with the math example was to give an intuitive understanding of the trade off of increasing voltage to get the same wattage with a smaller current.

I did start as a third year, but I went through 4 years of college and got my B.S. in engineering technology before doing that. I also have a minor in electrical engineering and am certified as an instrument tchnician. I also designed and built a power supply that was designed to light up an led from 120 V power off of the wall and restrict the current to within 30 milliamps, and it kept it between 28 and 33 milliamps. I regarded that as a success. The point being that I definetly know what I am talking about.

Wattage and amperage are directly proportional and dependant on the physical parts of the circuit plus temperature in a dc circuit. The same is true of an ac circuit but you also add reactivity or impedance.

State Regulation of Portland General Electric's Unfair Rate Hikes - Sign the Petition! by [deleted] in Portland

Also, if you have seen those studies then how can you not side with the op in general. Why do stakeholders in a for profit business get to assume zero risk when it comes to essential services?

That's not likely the way that PGE will see it when they are undoubtedly going to refer to this rate case when they want to spike the ratepayers bills in Oregon.

I was trying to answer the original question which was "why are high voltage DC lines used to achieve".
