Answer 1

Right answer is (a) Power due to propagation in conductor to that in dielectric To elaborate: The loss tangent is the tangent angle formed by the plot of conduction current density vs displacement current density. It is the ratio of Jc by Jd. It represents the loss of power due to propagation in a dielectric, when compared to that in a conductor.
