Electrical surges and ESD can cause ____ failure.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Electrical surges and ESD (electrostatic discharge) have been known to cause component failures in electronic devices, including computers. This can include damage to individual components such as capacitors, resistors, and ICs (integrated circuits), which can in turn cause the device to malfunction or stop working altogether. RAM (random access memory), connections, and catastrophic failure may also be affected, but component failure is more directly linked to electrical surges and ESD.
