← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when high current density exceeds copper's limit?
A)Electromigration reduces wire lifespan rapidly.✓
B)Thermal runaway decreases resistance linearly.
C)Skin effect increases AC resistance little.
D)Corona discharge initiates surface conduction minorly.
💡 Explanation
Electromigration, ion movement via momentum transfer, causes voids, therefore shortening lifespan because the increased current density generates substantial force, rather than resistance changes or surface discharge under standard integrated circuit conditions.
