← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a coil carrying AC voltage experiences core saturation?
A)Increased harmonic current generation✓
B)Enhanced inductive coupling strength
C)Improved power factor correction
D)Reduced electromagnetic field leakage
💡 Explanation
Increased harmonic current generation occurs because core saturation limits the magnetic flux swing; *magnetic saturation* reduces the coil's inductance. Therefore, harmonic currents increase, rather than improved coupling, because the core's permeability decreases under saturation.
