← ScienceWhich outcome results when an EMP induces a voltage?
A)Communication systems temporarily fail✓
B)Ionizing radiation exposure increases sharply
C)Superconducting magnets become quenched
D)Ground resistance decreases significantly
💡 Explanation
Systems fail because electromagnetic induction causes the formation of transient high currents. Because these currents overload sensitive electronic components, communication devices are disrupted rather than causing radiation increases, whose energy scales are distinct.
