Which of the following is the correct way to describe the relationship between trace width and impedance in a PCB?
AIncreasing trace width increases impedance
BIncreasing trace width decreases impedance
CTrace width does not affect impedance
DTrace width only affects impedance if the trace is longer than 10 cm
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Recall how trace width affects impedance

    Wider traces have lower impedance because they allow easier current flow.
  2. Step 2: Confirm the inverse relationship

    As trace width increases, impedance decreases.
  3. Final Answer:

    Increasing trace width decreases impedance -> Option B
  4. Quick Check:

    Trace width โ†‘ -> Impedance โ†“ [OK]
Quick Trick: Wider trace means lower impedance [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES
  • Thinking wider trace increases impedance
  • Ignoring trace width effect on impedance
  • Assuming length alone controls impedance
