← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a transmission line's capacitance increases?
A)Decreased characteristic impedance results✓
B)Reduced signal propagation delay
C)Increased resonant frequency emerges
D)Lower attenuation constant develops
💡 Explanation
Increased capacitance in a transmission line raises the stored charge, because it applies to impedance calculations; increased capacitance lowers the characteristic impedance, therefore signal reflection increases, rather than altering signal delay if inductance remains constant.
