text: (this is because the resistance of the line itself is very small and insignificant compared to that of the appliances at the end, so that any reasonable change in the resistance of the line will have a negligible effect on the overall resistance, and thus the current flowing through it).
text: In order to minimize transmission losses, the resistance of the lines has to be as small as possible compared to the load (resistance of consumer appliances).
