Voltage maximum and adjacent current maximum on a transmission line with standing waves are ______________ distance apart Select one:a. λ / 4b. λc. 2λd. λ / 2

The voltage maximum and adjacent current maximum on a transmission line with standing waves are ________ distance apart.

To determine the distance between them, we need to consider the concept of standing waves on a transmission line. In a standing wave, there are points along the line where the voltage and current reach their maximum and minimum values.

In a standing wave, the voltage and current are out of phase by 90 degrees. This means that when the voltage is at its maximum, the current is at its minimum, and vice versa.

The distance between a voltage maximum and an adjacent current maximum is equal to one-quarter of the wavelength (λ/4). This is because it takes one-quarter of a wavelength for the voltage and current to complete one cycle and reach their maximum values.

Therefore, the correct answer is option a. λ/4.
