Problem # 2.

The inductive reactance is given by:

 GMD  GMD
XL  2fL  2f  2  10 7 ln 7
  4f  10 ln
 GMR  GMR

Expanding the logarithmic term we get,

1
XL  4f  10 7 ln  4f  10 7 ln GMD
GMR

The first term is called the inductive reactance at 1-ft (or 1 m)

spacing. The second term is called the inductive reactance spacing
factor.

Inductive reactance spacing factor = 0.216401 Ω/km

Problem #4.

Lines are transposed. Line charge densities are ρL1, ρL2 and ρL3 for
conductors 1, 2 and 3, respectively. Image conductors, 1’, 2’, and
3’, have charge densities that are equal to -ρL1, -ρL2, and -ρL3,
respectively.
