← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a capacitive sensor's plates corrode?
A)Decreased measured dielectric constant✓
B)Increased signal-to-noise ratio
C)Enhanced parasitic inductance
D)Improved temperature stability
💡 Explanation
Corrosion increases distance and decreases area, causing a decrease in capacitance via area/distance ratios; therefore, because measured dielectric constant is proportional, it decreases, rather than other changes that would represent different mechanisms.
