← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a capacitive proximity sensor's parasitic capacitance exceeds threshold?
A)False trigger with no object✓
B)Reduced sensitivity to nearby objects
C)Sensor permanently disables output
D)Increased power consumption immediately begins
💡 Explanation
A false trigger happens when parasitic capacitance, acting as unwanted AC coupling, falsely triggers the detection circuit via capacitive coupling; therefore, the sensor triggers without an object, rather than correctly indicating presence when one is near.
