Define voltage drop in wires and its impact on avionics equipment; how can it be mitigated?

• A. Voltage drop is the voltage gain along conductor; mitigated by increasing current or length.
• B. Voltage drop is only a term for AC; mitigated by using DC wires.
• C. Voltage drop is the same as voltage ripple; mitigated by smoothing capacitors.
• D. Voltage drop is the loss across a conductor due to resistance; can cause under-voltage; mitigate with larger gauge, shorter runs, improved routing, or higher supply voltage.

Answer: (D)
