Final answer:

Transmission losses are minimized by transferring electricity over long distances at high voltages, while distribution losses are higher due to shorter distances at lower voltages.


Explanation:

Transmission losses occur when electricity is transferred over long distances at high voltages. This method minimizes power losses due to the relationship between voltage and current, as explained by Ohm's Law. On the other hand, distribution losses are typically higher than transmission losses because the electricity must travel shorter distances at lower voltages in the distribution network, leading to increased resistive losses.
