Basic Qualification · B-008 Interference and suppression · B-008-002-001
What devices would you install to reduce or eliminate interference to a home entertainment system from an HF transmitter?
- AMetal oxide varistors
- BBypass inductors
- CCoils on ferrite cores
- DBypass resistors
Correct answer: C — Coils on ferrite cores. From the official ISED question bank, verified word for word.
Why
Coils on ferrite cores act as a choke that blocks high-frequency radio energy from travelling along power or audio cables into your home entertainment system, while still letting normal electricity and sound pass through. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
