← ScienceWhich mechanism causes stray oscillating current in high-voltage transmission lines when experiencing capacitive coupling?
A)Parasitic capacitance forms tank circuit✓
B)Skin effect enhances resistance
C)Corona discharge reduces insulation
D)Ferroresonance induces transformer saturation
💡 Explanation
Parasitic capacitance between conductors forms a tank circuit with line inductance; resonance causes oscillating currents. Therefore, tank circuit formation explains the observation, rather than increased resistance or insulation breakdown because these effects don't inherently create oscillation.
