The power transmission capacity of the transmission line is

  • A. Inversely proportional to the square of the voltage
  • B. Proportional to the voltage
  • C. Inversely proportional to the voltage
  • D. Proportional to the square of the operating voltage

Answer: D. Proportional to the square of the operating voltage

Explanation: Maximum power transmission capacity Pmax = (VS·VR)/X. Since VS and VR are proportional to nominal voltage V, Pmax ∝ V² (proportional to the square of operating voltage).
