Which mechanism suppresses arc formation when relay contacts separate?

💡 Explanation

Magnetic field induction suppresses arcs because the collapsing magnetic field generates a reverse voltage that opposes the arc current. Therefore, arc formation minimizes rather than enhancing current because alternative factors aren't present.
