← ScienceWhich consequence results when cable capacitance increases sharply?
A)Signal rise time degrades severely✓
B)Impedance matching improves drastically
C)Cable inductance gets minimized safely
D)Characteristic waveform velocity significantly increases
💡 Explanation
Increased cable capacitance causes signal degradation because the **charging and discharging time** become significant relative to the signal frequency; therefore, the signal edges become rounded, rather than sharp, rather than improving performance.
