← ScienceWhich outcome reduces a capacitive proximity sensor's detection range in humid environments?
A)Increase in dielectric constant✓
B)Decrease in source frequency
C)Reduce excitation voltage needed
D)Decrease parasitic capacitance effects
💡 Explanation
Increased humidity raises the effective dielectric constant around the sensing plate, flooding the electric fields; because sensor measures changes rather than static fields, this masking reduces detection range, therefore the altered range rather than a recalibration, because recalibration is a separate process altogether.
