Which outcome occurs when high fluid viscosity impedes lubrication?

A)Increased viscous drag reduces bearing lifespan
B)Triboelectric charging causes static discharge
C)Erosion effects sharpen gear teeth faces
D)Alloying elements diffuse from lubricant bath

💡 Explanation

Increased viscosity raises shear stress under motion, exceeding material yield strength because viscous drag transforms kinetic energy by intermolecular friction; therefore higher drag dominates, rather than creating triboelectric effects under ideal loading without viscosity spikes affecting lubrication.
