Which outcome occurs when a rapidly switched inductive load is connected to a long, unterminated electrical cable acting as a capacitor?

💡 Explanation

Signal reflections leading to voltage overshoot result because the unterminated cable creates impedance mismatches. This causes constructive interference via wave propagation, therefore signal reflections occur, rather than the capacitance damping voltages under such switching conditions.
