← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when mismatched impedance impacts cable capacitance?
A)Signal reflections and standing waves.✓
B)Dielectric breakdown within the cable.
C)Increased skin effect losses arise.
D)Reduced magnetic field coupling occurs.
💡 Explanation
Signal reflection occurs because impedance mismatch causes energy to reflect rather than dissipate. Standing waves form due to wave interference. Therefore signal reflections manifest, rather than dielectric breakdown which requires high voltage stress conditions.
