Science

Which process increases susceptibility to electrostatic discharge damage in spacecraft electronics?

A)Capacitive charge accumulation
B)Increased solar irradiance
C)Galvanic corrosion effects
D)Reduced component temperature

💡 Explanation

Capacitive charge accumulation increases ESD risk because charge build-up on surfaces leads to rapid discharge events when a threshold is reached; therefore, high capacitance increases the likelihood of discharge rather than corrosion, which involves electrochemical reactions.
