Which outcome occurs immediately after a surge causes dielectric breakdown in a coaxial cable?

💡 Explanation

Signal reflection increases significantly after a surge because dielectric breakdown abruptly changes the cable's impedance—called impedance mismatch. The surge causes a short, therefore wave energy reflects rather than continuing down the cable, since all energy is forced back toward the source.
