4. If the spacing between the phase conductors is increased, the line capacitance will _______________
a) decrease
b) increase
c) remain same
d) depends on the conductor
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: If the spacing between phase conductors is increased, the line capacitance will decrease

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
View Answer

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