Three adverse effects of electromagnetic interference (EMI) and one

remedial step to reduce EMI:


Three Adverse Effects of Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
1. Data Corruption: EMI can corrupt data
2. Malfunction of Electronic Devices: EMI can disrupt the normal operation of
electronic devices. For example, if a medical device is exposed to EMI, it may
malfunction and deliver an incorrect dosage of medication or provide inaccurate
readings.
3. Safety Hazards: In some cases, EMI can create safety hazards. For example, if
EMI interferes with the navigation system of an airplane, it could lead to a crash.
One Remedial Step to Reduce EMI:
● Shielding: Shielding is a common technique used to reduce EMI. Shielding
materials, such as metal enclosures or conductive mesh, can block or absorb
electromagnetic waves, preventing them from reaching sensitive electronic devices.
It is important to note that there are many other remedial steps that can be taken to
reduce EMI, depending on the specific situation. These steps may include filtering,
grounding, and careful circuit design.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
