← ScienceWhich consequence results when rapidly discharging a dielectric capacitor?
A)Electromagnetic interference becomes more intense✓
B)Capacitor's equivalent series resistance approaches zero
C)Dielectric's breakdown strength increases linearly
D)Operating temperature reaches absolute zero
💡 Explanation
An electromagnetic pulse (EMP) emanates from accelerating charges because rapid discharging generates electromagnetic waves of higher intensity. The underlying mechanism is displacement current variation; therefore, more intense waves appear, rather than other effects better associated with static conditions.
