← ScienceWhich effect occurs when a capacitive sensor experiences hysteresis?
A)Charge builds non-linearly on electrodes
B)Sensitivity declines at higher frequencies
C)Capacitance lags behind input changes✓
D)Energy dissipates via dielectric losses
💡 Explanation
Capacitance lags behind input changes because dielectric polarization requires molecular alignment within the capacitive material; therefore, capacitance values will differ based on previous states, exhibiting hysteresis rather than immediately mirroring changes.
