Question

A transmission line consists of which of the following distributed constants?

The correct answer is
Resistance, inductance, series and shunt capacitance

Transmission Line Distributed Constants

Transmission lines possess electrical properties that are distributed along their entire length. These characteristics are represented by distributed constants.

The key distributed constants defining a transmission line are:

  • Resistance (R): Represents the opposition to current flow within the conductors.
  • Inductance (L): Arises from the magnetic field created by the current flowing through the conductors.
  • Series Capacitance: As specified in the context of the question's options, this refers to capacitive effects considered in series.
  • Shunt Capacitance (C): Represents the capacitance formed between the conductors due to the electric field.

These four parameters—resistance, inductance, series capacitance, and shunt capacitance—collectively model the behavior of a transmission line.
