Which of the following effect does ESD have on electronic components?
  1. ESD can lead to an electrical shock.
  2. ESD can cause the components to fail.
  3. ESD can help the components to run faster.
  4. ESD slows down components.
Explanation
Answer: B - Electrostatic Discharge, or ESD, is a single-event, rapid transfer of electrostatic charge between two objects, usually resulting when two objects at different potentials come into direct contact with each other. ESD can also occur when a high electrostatic field develops between two objects in close proximity.

Key Takeaway: ESD is one of the major causes of device failures in the semiconductor industry. ESD can lessen the life-span of the components considerably. Always protect your PC components using anti-static mats, wrist straps, or bags.
