A crack in the magnetic path of an inductor will result in________________?
Correct answer: D. reduced inductance
- A. unchanged inductance
- B. increased inductance
- C. zero inductance
- D. reduced inductance
Explanation
A crack introduces an air gap in the magnetic path, increasing reluctance. Since inductance is inversely related to reluctance, the inductance is reduced.
