  • explain step up transformer
    • increases potential difference which decreases current
    • reduces heating of transmission cables
    • less wasted energy
    • makes energy transfer more efficient
  • explain transmission cables
    • low resistance
    • reduce heating
    • reduce energy waste
  • explain step down transformer
    • decreases potential difference which increases current
    • potential difference decreased to a safe level so its suitable for domestic use
