5. Electric potential - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_potential

   v. t. e. Electric potential (also called the electric field potential, potential drop, the electrostatic potential) is defined as the amount of work / energy needed per unit of electric charge to move the charge from a reference point to a specific point in an electric field. More precisely, the electric potential is the energy per unit charge ...

6. Electric power transmission - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_transmission

   The combined transmission and distribution network is part of electricity delivery, known as the electrical grid. Efficient long-distance transmission of electric power requires high voltages. This reduces the losses produced by strong currents. Transmission lines use either alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC).

7. Electric power distribution - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_distribution

   Electric power distribution. Electric power distribution is the final stage in the delivery of electricity. Electricity is carried from the transmission system to individual consumers. Distribution substations connect to the transmission system and lower the transmission voltage to medium voltage ranging between 2 kV and 33 kV with the use of ...
