← ScienceWhich outcome results when a satellite's EM shield fails?
A)Increased charging by cosmic radiation.✓
B)Reduced atmospheric drag coefficient.
C)Improved thermal regulation efficiency.
D)Enhanced transmission to ground stations.
💡 Explanation
Increased charging occurs, because the magnetic field shielding dissipates; space radiation accumulates via the space charge effect. Therefore the satellite accumulates more charge rather than alters drag, enhances comms, or dissipates heat, due to ionization.
