← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a high-permeability core saturates?
A)Inductance decreases substantially and abruptly✓
B)Capacitance spontaneously resonates intensely
C)Dielectric breakdown becomes nearly inevitable
D)Leakage current undergoes thermal runaway
💡 Explanation
When a ferromagnetic core saturates, the magnetic field no longer increases linearly with current; therefore, inductance drops significantly because "permeability collapse" limits further field enhancement rather than core magnetization improving field containment anymore.
