Intuitively every kilometer takes the same fraction of the remaining electicity, which creates an exponential curve. Technically the loss fraction would be 1 minus the exponential curve, but that's still an exponential function. Is there something about power generation that makes it a log function of distance? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Natanael@slrpnk.net 1 point 7 months ago Power throughput follows a logarithm permalink fedilink source parent
