When waves travel along a transmission line from a generator to a load, through which region is power transmission taking place?

When waves travel along a transmission line from a generator to a load, through which region is power transmission taking place? Correct Answer Both through conducting and non-conducting regions

Concept:

  • At low frequency: when the wave travels through conducting region then voltage-current energy is strong compare to electromagnetic energy which is present outside the conducting region i.e. in the non-conducting region.
  • At high frequency: Electromagnetic energy in the non-conducting region is stronger compare to voltage-current energy present in conducting region.
  • But in the transmission line both the energy present in equal proportion.


Conclusion:

Power transmission takes place in conducting & in the non-conducting regions when traveling through transmission lines.
