View Answer

2. At any point along the line, the instantaneous voltage is ___________
a) sum of incident and reflected voltage
b) incident voltage
c) sum of incident and refracted voltage
d) twice the incident voltage
View Answer

3. The equation given below is the voltage equation,

Then it is ________________
a) reflected wave receiving to sending end
b) reflected wave sending to receiving end
c) incident wave from receiving end to sending end
d) refracted wave from receiving end to next end
View Answer

4. When can an incident wave not distinguish between the termination and an infinite continuation of line?
a) When line is terminated by its characteristic impedance
b) When line is terminated by its surge impedance
c) When line is open
d) When line is terminated by its characteristic and surge impedance
View Answer

5. Ferranti effect is more prominent due to ____________
a) line capacitance
b) surge capacitance
c) stray capacitance
d) all of the mentioned
View Answer

6. The voltage rise happening at the receiving end due to the line charging capacitance has a magnitude of _______________
a) ω²CLl²
b) ω²CLl²/2
c) ω²l²/v²
d) ω²CLl² and ω²l²/v²
View Answer

7. The receiving end voltage at the no load will be ____________
a) Vs(1+ w²CLl²)
b) (1+ w²CLl²)
c) Vs/(1+ w²CLl²)
d) Vs
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: The circuit diagram for the LTL is

Is= jVswCl
Vr = Vs – Is(jwLl) = Vs + Vsw²CLl²
=Vs(1+ w²CLl²).
