A coaxial cable has characteristic impedance of \(Z_{0}\) = 75 Ω and a capacitance of 70 PF/m. The inductance of the coaxial per metre length is given by

  • A.3.937 µH/m
  • B.39.37 µH/m
  • C.0.3937 µH/m
  • D.393.7 µH/m

Answer: C

The inductance is 0.3937 microhenry per metre. For a coaxial line the characteristic impedance is \(Z_{0} = \sqrt{L/C}\), so \(L = Z_{0}^{2}C\).

\[ L = 75^{2}\times 70\times 10^{-12} \]

\[ L = 5625\times 70\times 10^{-12} \]

\[ L = 3.9375\times 10^{-7}\ \text{H/m} \]

That is 0.3937 µH/m. The other options are the same digits with the decimal point moved by one or two places, which would mean the capacitance was taken as 700 pF/m, 7 nF/m or 7 pF/m instead of 70 pF/m.
