Answer 1

A telegraph line of length 100 km has a capacity of 0.01 µF/ km and it carries an alternating current at 0.5 kilo cycle per second. If minimum impedance is required, then the value of the inductance that needs to be introduced in series is 100 mH. (if π = `sqrt10`)

Explanation:

For minimum impedance, we have

X_l - X_c ⇒ ωL = `1/(omega"c")`

L = `1/(omega^2"c")`

= `1/(2pixx500)^2xx0.01`

= 101 × 10^-3 H ≃ 100 mH
