Question

question 48 of 73 which of the following devices are most susceptible to problems associated with esd? (select two.)
☐ crt monitors
☐ memory
☐ cat-5 cable
☐ ata hard drive cases
☐ processor
☐ fiber optic cable

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option for susceptibility to ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) problems:

Step 1: Analyze each component

• CPU monitors: These are typically more robust and less susceptible to ESD compared to sensitive components.
• Memory (RAM): Memory modules (like RAM sticks) have delicate electronic components (integrated circuits) that are highly sensitive to ESD. Static electricity can damage the microchips.
• Cat - 5 cable: It is a copper - based network cable. While it can be affected by electrical interference, ESD is not a primary concern for it as it is not a sensitive electronic component with microchips.
• ACU from factory cases: ACU (assuming it's a component in a factory case) in factory - built cases are usually designed with ESD protection, so less susceptible.
• Processor (CPU): Processors have extremely sensitive transistors and circuits. ESD can easily damage the fine - pitched components on a CPU die.
• Fiber optic cable: It transmits data via light and has no electronic components sensitive to ESD, so it is immune to ESD - related issues.

Step 2: Identify the most susceptible

Memory (RAM) and Processor (CPU) are the components with delicate electronic components (microchips, transistors) that are most vulnerable to ESD - induced damage.

Answer:

Memory, Processor
