← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when fast voltage transients enter capacitive proximity sensors?
A)Spurious trigger event✓
B)Permanent sensor saturation
C)Oscillator frequency shift
D)Excitation voltage decrease
💡 Explanation
Spurious triggering happens because capacitive coupling allows high-frequency noise to mimic target presence via displacement current; therefore, a false signal causes a trigger pulse, rather than sensor saturation or oscillation shift, which require sustained power anomalies.
