Which outcome occurs when a powerful EMP impacts unshielded electronics?

💡 Explanation

An EMP induces a surge that exceeds dielectric strength, therefore latent damage occurs via dielectric breakdown because the strong electric fields overwhelm insulation; rather than improved signal noise or energy gain with normal signal.
