← ScienceWhich phenomenon leads to arcing when disconnecting inductive circuits?
A)Inductive energy release✓
B)Increased capacitive reactance
C)Resonant frequency shift
D)Decreased electromagnetic damping
💡 Explanation
When an inductive circuit is opened, the collapsing magnetic field induces a large voltage via Faraday's Law of Induction causing inductive energy release; therefore arcing arises from this large voltage rather than capacitive effects or damping, because these play different roles.
