← ScienceWhich outcome results when a pressure sensor exceeds its absolute maximum rating?
A)Permanent sensor element deformation occurs✓
B)Temperature reading becomes highly unstable
C)Output signal displays excessive drift
D)Communication signal experiences complete loss
💡 Explanation
Permanent deformation happens because exceeding the pressure maximum causes the sensing diaphragm to surpass its elastic limit, leading to plastic deformation, a failure of the material's yield strength. Therefore, the sensor element is permanently deformed, rather than experiencing drift or signal loss, which would stem from electronic failures.
