Which outcome occurs when a voltage standing wave is established on unterminated coaxial cable?

💡 Explanation

When a standing wave exists, there are points of high voltage; the peak voltage may exceed the cable's dielectric strength, because this voltage results from constructive interference via superposition. Therefore, dielectric breakdown risk rises , rather than uniform capacitance or radiated power, when high voltages are sustained in the dielectric.
