Which outcome occurs when rapid inductor saturation happens in a SMPS circuit?

💡 Explanation

Rapid inductor saturation causes increased MOSFET current and heating because the **inductance collapses**, allowing excessive current flow; therefore, the MOSFET overheats, rather than improved performance, because inductance is compromised under high-current conditions.
