1. Shunt admittance of a transmission line comprises of ______
A. capacitance with conductance
B. capacitance with inductance
C. resistance with inductance
D. capacitance with susceptance
Answer: A
Clarification: Shunt admittance is capacitance with conductance in the branch.
2. Conductance is the result of the leakage over the surface of insulators.
A. True
B. False
Answer: A
Clarification: Conductance comes into the picture due to the leakage current over the conductor’s surface.
3. Charging current in the transmission line is _______________
A. drawn at open as well as closed end of the transmission line
B. drawn at closed end of the transmission line
C. drawn at open end of the transmission line
D. drawn at the shunt capacitance at closed end of transmission line.
Answer: A
Clarification: Charging current in transmission line is drawn even when the far end of the TL is open.
