Which consequence results when a charged capacitive proximity sensor contaminates?

💡 Explanation

A contaminant’s increased effective dielectric causes parasitic capacitance via capacitive loading which mimics closer proximity than actual, therefore reducing the range because the contamination changes the electric field rather than thermal or saturation effects.
