What exactly happens to an electronic device when hit by an EMP? Can it be turned on again?
In: 25
There are tiny wires inside tiny devices. The EMP creates a magnetic field that causes a lot of current to flow through those tiny wires. The current can either heat the wire up and burn it until it melts or create a high-enough voltage across some connected tiny device that causes it to fail.
Tiny burned out wires do not work again. Tiny burned out devices don’t work either. So, no, it can not be turned on again.
