Electromagnetic susceptibility

Electromagnetic susceptibility refers to how sensitive a material or device is to external electromagnetic fields, such as radio waves, microwaves, or static electricity. When exposed, these fields can induce electrical currents or voltages within the material, potentially affecting its performance or damage. High susceptibility means the material easily reacts to external signals, while low susceptibility means it resists changes. Understanding this helps in designing electronic devices to be either resistant or responsive to electromagnetic interference, ensuring they work reliably in various environments.
