(a) Derive an equation for the capacitance to neutral in farads per meter of a single-phase line, taking into account the effect of ground. Use the same nomenclature as in the equation derived for the capacitance of a three-phase line where the effect of ground is represented by image charges
(b) Using the derived equation, calculate the capacitance to neural in farads per meter of a single-phase line composed of two solid circular conductors, each having a diameter of 0.229 in . The conductors are 10 ft apart and 25 ft above ground. Compare the result with the value obtained by applying Eq. (5. 10).
