  • Question
  • Current chopping leads to


  • Options
  • A. over voltage
  • B. over current
  • C. both over voltage and over current
  • D. either over voltage or over current

  • Correct Answer
  • over voltage 

    Explanation
    e = L Current chopping leads to over voltage over current both over voltage and over current either over v. In current chopping Current chopping leads to over voltage over current both over voltage and over current either over v is high. Hence e is high.
