← ScienceWhich electrical consequence results when distributed capacitance rises within transmission lines?
A)Increased current carrying capacity
B)Decreased signal propagation speed✓
C)Reduced inductive reactance effects
D)Enhanced impedance matching at loads
💡 Explanation
Increased distributed capacitance causes greater charge storage requirements during AC signal transmission because the transmission line acts like numerous small capacitors. Therefore, the signal propagation speed decreases, rather than improved impedance or inductance, under higher distributed capacitance conditions.
