← ScienceWhich failure is triggered when resonant inductive coupling charges a pacemaker?
A)Dielectric breakdown inside the capacitor✓
B)Increased inductance saturates the coil
C)Eddy current losses in the coil
D)Skin effect hinders current propagation
💡 Explanation
If the voltage induced within the parasitic capacitance exceeds the dielectric strength, dielectric breakdown can occur because overvoltage overwhelms the material's insulation. Therefore, device failure occurs due to breakdown, rather than saturation or eddy current risks arising inside the inductive coils.
