Which mechanism causes increased energy loss in high-voltage AC transmission lines that pass close to an inductive load?

A)Increased inductive skin effect losses
B)Enhanced radiative ohmic dielectric loss
C)Coupled magnetostrictive vibration effect
D)Elevated corona discharge suppression margin

💡 Explanation

Energy loss increases with inductive loads due to the skin effect; the **proximity effect** constricts current flow because the magnetic field from load induces opposing circulating currents. Therefore, resistance goes up around conductors rather than other loss regimes which are constant.
