← ScienceWhich consequence results when an EMP weapon discharges?
A)Widespread induced current surges occur✓
B)Static charge buildup causes dielectric breakdown
C)Materials experience rapid thermal expansion
D)Ionizing radiation contaminates broad areas
💡 Explanation
An EMP generates intense, transient electromagnetic fields; the Faraday's law of induction leads to large currents in conductors because rapidly changing fields induce electromotive force. Therefore, widespread equipment damage occurs, rather than slower heating or just charge imbalances.
