← ScienceWhich conduction effect results when electrons traverse nanoscale gaps?
A)Quantum tunneling induces current flow✓
B)Ohmic dissipation generates excess heat
C)Capacitance amplifies signal delay
D)Inductance creates parasitic oscillations
💡 Explanation
Quantum tunneling enables electrons to pass barriers, because electrons' wavelike properties cause a probability of presence beyond potential barriers; therefore, current flows, rather than dissipation because the electron doesn't directly interact during tunneling.
