which transmission is cheaper ac or dc?

Answer Posted / ch.phani

ac transmission is cheaper though the losses in this are
high compared to dc
because dc cannot be stepped up directly and so the the
inverters and rectifiers comes into picture which has to
deal the high powers (in the order of mw).asn so the cost
is high
