Electrical Engineering QUESTION #2170
Question 1
A lossy transmission line has $R = 0.1\,\Omega/\text{m}$, $G = 0.01\,\text{S/m}$, $L = 1\,\mu\text{H/m}$, $C = 1\,\text{nF/m}$. Is the Heaviside distortionless condition $RC = GL$ satisfied?
  • No; $RC = 10^{-10}$ but $GL = 10^{-8}$✔️
  • Yes; both equal $10^{-9}$
  • Yes; both equal $10^{-8}$
  • Cannot be determined without frequency
Correct Answer Explanation
$RC = 0.1 \times 10^{-9} = 10^{-10}$. $GL = 0.01 \times 10^{-6} = 10^{-8}$. Since $RC \ne GL$, the distortionless condition is NOT satisfied.
