If the length of a cable is doubled, its capacitance____________?
Correct answer: C. becomes double
- A. becomes one-fourth
- B. becomes one-half
- C. becomes double
- D. remains unchanged
Explanation
Cable capacitance is proportional to its length because doubling the length doubles the area over which capacitive coupling occurs. Therefore, the capacitance becomes double.
