Which mechanism creates radio-frequency interference within a switched-mode power supply?

💡 Explanation

When switching rapidly, parasitic capacitance interacts with inductances, forming resonant circuits because stray fields couple energy, leading to unwanted radio-frequency emissions radiated into the environment. Therefore resonant circuits cause RFI, rather than inductor saturation, capacitor absorptions or magnetic hysteresis, which exhibit alternative failures.
