Question

In transmission lines, the effective resistance of a conductor is increase by

A.

Proximity effect and skin effect

B.

Corona effect and proximity effect

C.

Corona effect and skin effect

D.

Proximity effect only

Answer ( Option A)

Proximity effect and skin effect

Solution

Skin effect - It is the tendency of alternating high frequency current towards the surface of the conducting material. This causes to restricts the current to a small part of the total cross-sectional area, and so the effect of increasing the resistance of the conductor.

Proximity effect - The alternating flux in a conductor is caused by the current of other nearby conductor. This causes increases in the resistance of a conductor.
