1. Why is capacitance formed in a transmission line? Explain with necessary mathematical formula.

[2]

2. A two bundle 3-phase line has flat horizontal spacing between the conductors. Distances between the
conductors are 7m, 7m, 14m respectively. Find the capacitance of the line for a length of 50km.

3. One conductor of a single phase line carries a charge of 30micro coulomb/km while the other conductor
carries a charge of -30micro coulomb/km. Find the voltage between the conductors. Radius of each conductor is
0.35cm and the distance between the conductors is 2.5m.

4. A three-phase two bundle conductor line is shown below. Write the expression for Vbc.

5. A 33kV 3-phase line has conductors with symmetrical spacing. Distance between the conductors is 2.7m and
radius of each conductor is 0.22cm. Find the charging current flowing through line and neutral.
