← ScienceWhich risk increases when a capacitive proximity sensor nears metallic dust?
A)Spurious triggering of the output✓
B)Reduced sensor electromagnetic interference
C)Decreased oscillator energy efficiency
D)Amplified sensitivity distance linearity
💡 Explanation
Spurious triggering can occur through increased stray capacitance caused by metallic dust bridging the sensor's plates. This causes a false detection event because the shift in resonant frequency of the oscillator exceeds its set detection threshold, rather than proper object detection occurring.
