Okay here's something that I've been thinking about for a while, I know that in Power Plants they use step up transformers to reduce waste:
W = I x R
W = 500 x 100 = 50,000 vs W = 20 x 100 = 2000
But what about ohms law, I mean I know a lot of people get mixed up when they think of the transformer as load (with a resistance/impedance value) but if the wire stays the same and a higher voltage is pumped through it doesn't that mean the current flowing through it should increase?
Similarly stun guns, they step up the voltage to voltages like 20kV but however do not exceed 5-10ma when this voltage is pumped through the resistance of the human body
I'm sure there's something I'm missing? Enlighten me please
