← ScienceWhich outcome limits energy capture when an oscillating wave-energy converter reaches resonance?
A)Increased magnetic field leakage
B)Internal structural fatigue intensifies✓
C)Dielectric material breakdown spikes
D)Capacitive discharge ceases entirely
💡 Explanation
Increased structural fatigue results when wave-energy converters reach resonance, because the repeated stress exceeds material limits, starting the **fatigue crack growth** mechanism. Therefore, the energy capture declines, rather than causing electrical malfunctions because structural integrity determines reliable function.
