← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when using undersized wiring in high-current DC circuit?
A)Increased resistive power dissipation✓
B)Optimized signal-to-noise ratio
C)Decreased electromagnetic interference
D)Enhanced capacitive energy storage
💡 Explanation
Excessive heat is produced because the resistance of the wiring generates *Joule heating*, where I-squared-R losses convert electrical energy to heat. Therefore, power dissipation increases, rather than improved signal quality that would require signal processing components.
