The main disadvantage of a mechanical switch is that it_______________?
Correct answer: C. Has high inertia
- A. Is operated mechanically
- B. Is costly
- C. Has high inertia
- D. None of the above
Explanation
A mechanical switch contains moving parts, so its inertia limits switching speed and causes contact bounce and wear. Its mechanical operation itself is not the disadvantage being tested.
