Answer:

The receiving end Voltage ( VR ) will reduce significantly

Step-by-step explanation:

Determine what happens to the receiving end voltage

Given that ; Load on transmission line is increased and Load has a lagging power factor

Increase in load = Increase in reactive/real power drawn from the transmission line and this will cause an increase in the current drawn as well.

Vs = VR + j XL I

Vs = sending end voltage

VR = receiving end voltage

jXL I = voltage drop across reactance

The rotating and shifting of Vs to a new power angle ( lagging power factor ) without a change in magnitude will cause the value of the VR receiving end voltage to drop significantly
