Assuming constant transmission efficiency, if voltage is increased ‘n’ times, the size of the conductor would be
- A. Reduced to 1/n^2 that of the original
- B. Increased to n^2 that of the original
- C. Reduced to 1/n that of the original
- D. Increased to n times that of the original
Answer: A. Reduced to 1/n^2 that of the original
Explanation: For given power P, distance l, and percentage loss, conductor volume is inversely proportional to V² (Volume ∝ 1/V²). If voltage increases by a factor of n, conductor volume reduces to 1/n².
