← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a PCB trace experiences excessive current density, creating high electron flow?
A)Electromigration weakens the trace✓
B)Dielectric breakdown increases capacitance
C)Skin effect reduces inductance
D)Ohmic heating improves conductivity
💡 Explanation
Electromigration weakens the trace because the increased momentum transfer from electrons to metal ions causes displacement via momentum transfer; therefore, material is preferentially displaced, reducing cross-sectional area, rather than creating heating improving conductivity because atoms diffuse.
