← ScienceWhich effect results when impedance changes abruptly in transmission lines?
A)Signal reflection occurs along the line✓
B)Capacitance increases linearly with distance
C)Inductance becomes frequency independent
D)Dielectric breakdown potential decreases slowly
💡 Explanation
Signal reflection occurs because impedance mismatches cause a discontinuity, leading to a standing wave due to wave reflection at the point of change, rather than continuous propagation, therefore option A, rather than changed capacitance.
