Which outcome occurs when high-voltage AC transmission line capacitance increases significantly?

A)Ferranti effect voltage surges
B)Corona discharge reduces sharply
C)Transmission line impedance decreases
D)Reactive power demand decreases

💡 Explanation

Increased capacitance causes a larger charging current, leading to the Ferranti effect, because cable capacitance charges, elevating the voltage at the receiving end; therefore, transmission line voltages will surge rather than remaining stable under load.
