← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a high-voltage DC transmission line experiences capacitive coupling with an adjacent grounded structure?
A)Corona discharge generation
B)Induced voltage on the structure✓
C)Structural resonance amplification
D)Electromagnetic interference reduction
💡 Explanation
When a DC line and a grounded structure are close, capacitive coupling occurs because the electric field between them creates a capacitive link, resulting in charge transfer and an induced voltage on the grounded structure. Therefore, induced voltage results, rather than corona, resonance, or interference reduction, which require different mechanisms and conditions.
