Electricity Transmission

Today's Physics class for 5 KM Yakin starts with a revision on transformers and followed by the topic on generation and transmission of electricity.

A video on structure of power cables and maintenance of high voltage power lines was shown during class. I have forgotten to include the likelihood of a new generation of power cables: the superconducting cables.

High temperature superconductors promise to revolutionised power distribution by providing lossless transmission of electrical power. The development of superconductors with critical temperatures close to the boiling point of liquid nitrogen has made the concept of superconducting power lines commercially feasible. However further research has to be carried out in order for this dream to become a reality.
