← ScienceWhich vulnerability increases when improperly grounding high-capacitance electrical equipment?
A)Electrostatic discharge ignition risk✓
B)Thermal runaway in semiconductors
C)Piezoelectric sensor malfunction
D)Electromagnetic pulse-induced oscillation
💡 Explanation
The Electrostatic discharge ignition risk increases because inadequate grounding allows charge accumulation; thus, electrostatic discharge can occur with enough voltage differential creating a spark. This presents an especially harmful event rather than alternatives like thermal runaway occurring due to excessive heat.
