Which of the following is not correct? Waveguide is an efficient transmission medium because it features:
- A low copper loss
- B low hysteresis loss
- C low radiation loss
- D low dielectric loss
Correct answer: B — low hysteresis loss. From the official ISED question bank, verified word for word.
Why
Hysteresis loss happens inside magnetic materials when they are repeatedly magnetized and demagnetized, but a waveguide is simply a hollow metal tube with no magnetic core to cause this effect. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
