← ScienceWhich outcome accelerates corrosion when a capacitive sensor is exposed to a saline environment?
A)Increased galvanic current output✓
B)Enhanced dielectric breakdown voltage
C)Reduced sensitivity to pressure
D)Diminished electromagnetic interference immunity
💡 Explanation
Increased galvanic current occurs because **electrolytic capacitance** forms at the sensor surface due to the saline solution inducing charge accumulation. This amplifies electron transfer, accelerating corrosion, therefore galvanic current increases, rather than dielectric breakdown being enhanced which would inhibit corrosion.
