← ScienceWhat outcome arises when a magnetic recording head experiences excessive fringing?
A)Reduced track density achievable by media✓
B)Increased signal-to-noise ratio performance
C)Improved high-frequency spectral resolution
D)Enhanced resistance thermal demagnetization effects
💡 Explanation
Excessive fringing causes reduced track density because, during recording, the broadened magnetic field writes onto adjacent tracks via the **proximity effect**, degrading signal isolation rather than allowing optimal storage; therefore, track density decreases, rather than the signal increasing under those field distortions.
