I have been told that an electric cord/cable/line after so many feet will lose or have electricity fall off and weaken before reaching the item it is meant to power.
How does this happen.
Where does the electricity go if energy doesn’t just go away and the cable/ cord/ line are insulated?
In: Other
It’s lost by friction of the electrons moving through the wire which release the lost energy as heat. The longer the wire the more time it has to lose energy due to resistance of electrical flow.
