Question

For the transmission of same power 

A.

DC line requires more copper than an AC line 

B.

AC line requires more copper than a DC line 

C.

Both AC as well as DC line need same copper

D.

None of these

Answer ( Option B)

AC line requires more copper than a DC line 

Solution

For the transmission of same power AC line requires more copper than a DC line. The construction of AC transmission line is more complex than DC transmission line due to inductance and capacitance, the voltage drop in the AC line is more than the DC line for same sending end voltage and load this makes the voltage regulation poor.

Hence, the correct option is (B).
