Assertion (A): Transmission wires carry current at high voltage to reduce power loss. | Reason (R): The power wasted in connecting wires is inversely proportional to the square of the voltage.
A
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
B
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
C
A is true but R is false.
D
