← ScienceWhich oscillatory outcome arises when a capacitive load switches?
A)Voltage ringing due to parasitic inductance✓
B)Capacitor dielectric breakdown occurs rapidly
C)Resonance stabilizes at the source current
D)Electromagnetic pulse causes system reversal
💡 Explanation
Voltage ringing occurs because sudden switching energizes the parasitic inductance alongside capacitance prompting LC oscillations; frequency of oscillations depending on components values, therefore transient ringing rather than immediate hard failure like dielectric breakdown because it needs overvoltage buildup.
