Why we use AC for power transmission over long distances?
Someone argues that a resistor R=100 Ω run by 5 V DC heats up faster than the same resistor run by 5 Vp AC (the 5 Vp are measured as the maximum voltage of the sine wave). Is this person right or wrong? Explain.
What does an AC Analysis imply about the magnitude of a voltage being measured?
