← ScienceWhich risk increases when a ferromagnetic core inductor undergoes saturation?
A)Stray inductance becomes more prevalent✓
B)Hysteresis losses reduce significantly
C)Curie temperature decreases drastically
D)Magnetic domains align more easily
💡 Explanation
Increased stray inductance appears in inductor failure because after saturation, the magnetic permeability decreases; therefore, the available inductance drops. Hence stray inductance dominates, rather than hysteresis staying low or easier alignment.
