8. Flow of power in transmission line takes place through:
A. Electric field and magnetic field
B. Voltage and current
C. Voltage
D. Electric field
Answer: A
Clarification: In a transmission line, flow of power takes place through propagation of electric field and magnetic field. Alternating electric field and alternating magnetic field propagates EM wave transmitting power.
9. When a transmission line is exited by a source, total power supplied is delivered to the load.
A. True
B. False
Answer: B
Clarification: When a transmission line is excited by the source, entire power is not delivered to the load due to the various types of losses that occur in the transmission line.
10. Expression for propagation constant. γ In terms of ω is:
A. √ω2µ∈
B. ω2µ∈
C. – ω2µ∈
D. None of the mentioned
Answer: A
