Which electrical surge risk increases when a submarine antenna receives a powerful electromagnetic pulse (EMP) wave?

💡 Explanation

Dielectric breakdown risk increases because the EMP’s rapid voltage change induces a large electric field exceeding the insulator’s dielectric strength; therefore, insulation fails rather than corrosion or thermoelectric effects, because those require different drivers.
