  1. A single phase transmission line and a telephone line are both symmetrically strung one below the other, in horizontal configurations, on a common t ower. The shor t est and l ongest distances between the phase and telephone conductors are 2.5 m and 3 m respectively. The volt age (volt /km) induced in the telephone circuit, due to 50 Hz current of 100 amps in the power circuit is
    1. 4.81
    2. 3.56
    3. 2.29
    4. 1.27
Correct Option: C


Mutual inductance between lower line and telephone line,

M = 4 × 10-7 In
DP1T2
H/m
DP1T1

= 4 × 10-7 In
3
H/m
2.5

= 0.73 × 10–7 H/m
Hence voltage induced by power line into the telephone line,
|VT| = ωMI
= 314 × (0.73 × 10–7) × 100
= 2.29 H/km
