Question 269Electricity & Electronics - Assistant Engineer
70% to passAs shown in figure "A" of the illustration, what phenomenon is illustrated with respect to electrical cables and ground? Illustration EL-0126

Aassociative capacitance
Bassociative inductance
Cdistributive inductance
Ddistributive capacitance
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) distributive capacitance. The illustration EL-0126 shows the phenomenon of distributive capacitance, where electrical cables in close proximity to a ground plane exhibit capacitance along their length. This distributed capacitance occurs due to the potential difference between the cable and the ground, creating a capacitive effect that is distributed along the length of the cable. The other options are incorrect because associative capacitance and inductance refer to different electrical phenomena, while distributive inductance is not the primary effect illustrated in this diagram.
