The square root of the ratio of line impedance and shunt admittance is called the___________?

Correct answer: A. surge impedance of the line

  • A. surge impedance of the line
  • B. conductance of the line
  • C. regulation of the line
  • D. none of the above

Explanation

The quantity √(Z/Y), where Z is series impedance and Y is shunt admittance per unit length, is the surge or characteristic impedance of a transmission line. Conductance is only the real part of shunt admittance.
