What happens to induced voltage or current as the distance between deenergized and energized lines increases?

Induced voltage or current is a phenomenon that occurs due to the electromagnetic fields produced by energized lines affecting nearby conductive objects, including nearby deenergized lines. When the distance between the energized line and the deenergized line increases, the strength of the electric and magnetic fields diminishes.

As these fields diminish, the induced voltage or current in the deenergized line decreases. However, the understanding of the interaction suggests that with greater distances, the interaction may not lead to negligible induced voltage or current; rather, it would logically follow that the interaction reduces significantly, thus leading to the choice that indicates a decrease rather than an increase.

The correct answer reflects that as the distance increases, the induction effects weaken, resulting in less induced voltage or current in the deenergized line. The choice indicating that it increases is contradictory, as increased distance typically results in a reduced electromagnetic influence, not an increase.
