Which outcome occurs when an AC power line encounters increased capacitive load?

A)Voltage sags, potentially harming equipment
B)Frequency rises beyond standard grid limits
C)Harmonics severely distort current waveform
D)Line inductance reduces oscillations stability

💡 Explanation

Voltage sags occur because increased capacitive load increases reactive power demand. The utility must supply increased current, and with impedance on the line, voltage drops due to Ohm's law; therefore, voltage sags occur rather than frequency changes or harmonic distortion, representing different power-grid stresses.
