Answer / danny
The high voltage is high potential, but very low current.
This is to minimize I^2*R power losses in transmission. As
you get closer and closer to the destination, the step-down
transformers bring the voltage down, eventually to the
220/110 VAC (here in the US) that is used in residences.
Because of conservation, when you step the voltage down, the
current increases. It is for this reason that this is done
closest to the end user. That way, power is dissipated in
the products at home and not wasted on the way there.

because high voltage. if we want transmit HT through UG
cables it is so costly due to need of very high insolation

What are the difference between these terms ? e.m.f, voltage, potential, potential difference, current etc? what are the difference between these terms ? (electromotive force) e.m.f, voltage, potential, potential difference, reference potential, reference potential difference, current. How can i explain and describe these all terms in single line each and little more explaination too thanks
