A Pairs of parallel wires or coaxial cables are two conductors separated by an insulator, so they have a capacitance. For a given cable, the capacitance is independent of the length if the cable is very long. A typical circuit model of a cable is shown in Figure P27.87.

Hint: For the infinite number of units, adding one more unit at the beginning does not change the equivalent capacitance.
