Reduces power factor
Corrodes the material
Gives odour
Transfer energy to the ground
Answer is Wrong!
Answer is Right!
The correct answer is: B. Corrodes the material.
Ozone is a gas that is formed when oxygen molecules are split by an electric field. This can happen in high-voltage equipment, such as power lines and transformers. Ozone is a powerful oxidizing agent, which means that it can react with other materials and damage them. This can lead to corrosion of the material, which can reduce the lifespan of the equipment.
The other options are incorrect because:
- A. Power factor is a measure of how efficiently an electrical system is using power. Ozone does not affect power factor.
- C. Ozone does not have a strong odor.
- D. Ozone does not transfer energy to the ground.
In conclusion, the presence of ozone due to corona is harmful because it corrodes the material.
