Electricity and Power Outages Quiz

The electricity transmitted from power plants to homes is always at the same voltage, regardless of the distance it travels.

• True

• False

Electricity loss occurs mainly due to the resistance of power lines, which causes electrical energy to be converted into heat during transmission.

• True

• False

Using high-quality conductors and upgrading transformers can help reduce electricity loss by minimizing resistance and improving the efficiency of the power grid.

• True

• False

Long-term power outages in urban areas can lead to increased crime rates, as streetlights and security systems may be rendered nonfunctional, creating opportunities for criminal activity.

• True

• False

The frequency of power outages in a region is directly proportional to the amount of renewable energy (like wind and solar) integrated into the electrical grid, as renewable energy sources are less reliable than traditional fossil fuels.
