A higher voltage can be used to transmit the same amount of power at a(n) ? current value.

Using a higher voltage to transmit the same amount of power allows the current value to be lower. This principle is based on the formula for electrical power, which states that power is the product of voltage and current (P = VI). To transmit a specific amount of power, if the voltage increases, the current must decrease proportionally to maintain that power level.

By reducing the current, several benefits are realized. Lower current reduces the losses due to the resistance of the transmission lines, as power loss due to heat (also known as I²R loss) increases with current. Therefore, using higher voltages for power transmission is a common practice in the electrical industry to improve efficiency and minimize losses over long distances. This is why the correct answer highlights the relationship between voltage and current in the context of power transmission.
