← ScienceWhich problem arises when high frequency signals propagate through transmission lines?
A)Skin effect signal attenuation increases✓
B)Line capacitance remains roughly stable
C)Conductor inductance becomes negligible
D)Dielectric breakdown risk substantially lessens
💡 Explanation
The skin effect causes current to concentrate near the conductor's surface at higher frequencies, because of electromagnetic induction that opposes inner current flow; therefore attenuation is increased rather than unaffected, unlike dielectric concerns in the transmission line.
