3. The ground effect causes line capacitance to _____________
a) Increase by 0.2%
b) Increase by 2%
c) Decrease by 0.2%
d) Decrease by 2%

Answer: a
Explanation: The effect of the ground is not very significant on the capacitance.

4. If the spacing between the phase conductors is increased, the line capacitance will _______________

q258

5. If the length of the transmission line is increased, the line charging current in the TL will _____________
a) increase
b) decrease
c) remain same
d) not be affected

Answer: a
Explanation: If the length of the TL increases, then the line admittance will decrease, so the line charging current will decrease.

7. The capacitance becomes significant for the __________
a) long transmission line
b) medium transmission line
c) short transmission line
d) cannot be determined

Answer: a
Explanation: Capacitance parameter is highly important for long transmission line due to the charging current flowing in the LTL.
