← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when applying high-frequency AC to underground power cables?
A)Dielectric heating of cable insulation.✓
B)Reduced core saturation in transformers.
C)Minimized skin effect current losses.
D)Suppressed corona discharge at connectors.
💡 Explanation
Dielectric heating occurs because the alternating electric field polarizes and relaxes the insulation rapidly, resulting in energy dissipation via dielectric losses; therefore the insulation heats, rather than core changes because of transformer specifics, or optimizations of conduction, or connector integrity.
