Water is used in car radiators because it has a:

high heat capacity.

minimise heat exchange with environment.

ensure even distribution of heat.

Dust particles often stick on television screens because the:

television screens, whether charged or not, attract dust particles.

television screens become charged and so attract the oppositely charged dust particles.

dust particles become charged and so attract the uncharged television screens.

television screens become charged and so attract the uncharged dust particles.

Electrical power is transmitted at high voltage in thick copper cables:

so as to keep power loss along the cable as low as possible.

so as to discourage people from stealing the cables along the way.

because transformers will step down the voltage to any level at the consumer end.

so as to maintain a high voltage up to the consumer end.

The effective voltage of electrical energy supplied to our homes by ENEO is:
