← ScienceWhich outcome arises when a toroid inductor's windings short?
A)Reduced inductance and increased current✓
B)Increased inductance and decreased temperature
C)Unchanged inductance, oscillating magnetic field
D)Reversed polarity, suppressed magnetic fields
💡 Explanation
A shorted winding reduces total turns/effective permeability. Thus, flux linkage and inductance decrease due to reduced magnetic field density. Therefore, current increases because the impedance drops, rather than other electromagnetic effects occurring.
