← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when excessive current travels along a coiled inductor?
A)Core saturation decreases inductance quickly✓
B)Eddy currents increase core over time
C)Dielectric breakdown causes catastrophic arcing
D)Skin effects reduce wire cross-section
💡 Explanation
Core saturation reduces inductance due to the magnetic field reaching its maximum (Bmax). Reaching Bmax means that increasing the current no longer proportionally increases electromagnetism; therefore, inductance collapses rather than experiencing other failure modes.
