When electric power is carried over long distances through power lines, the electrical energy decreaseya
the distance increases. This energy decrease occurs because the current encounters resistance in the wires.
Which of the following bet describes what happens to the missing electrical energy?
The electrical energy is transformed into thermal energy and is released into the atmosphere.
The electrical energy is transformed into light energy as it travels along the power line.
The electrical energy is transformed to current as the power lines are grounded.
The electrical energy is transformed into electromagnetic energy and is released as microwaves.
