← ScienceWhich consequence occurs from exceeding the voltage limit on radio-frequency waveguide?
A)Reduced signal propagation losses
B)Dielectric breakdown and arcing✓
C)Increased wave transmission efficiency
D)Enhanced Skin Effect attenuation
💡 Explanation
Exceeding the voltage thresholds within dielectrics inside a waveguide results in dielectric breakdown and arcing, because intense electric fields cause ionization events leading to a conductive path. Therefore, arcing occurs, rather than enhanced transmission that is possible under voltage ratings.
