Question

question 10 of 99
since it has no moving parts, a cpu will usually work properly for several years.
which of the following is a common factor that might cause a cpu to fail prematurely?
magnetic field
high cpu - usage
unsupported memory modules
electromagnetic interference
electrostatic discharge (esd)
i want to create this question item. (optional)

Explanation:

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage sensitive electronic components like CPUs. A magnetic field alone usually doesn't directly cause a CPU to fail prematurely. High CPU usage is normal operation and won't lead to premature failure on its own. Unsupported memory modules may cause system - instability but not directly damage the CPU in most cases. Electromagnetic interference affects signal integrity rather than directly causing CPU failure.

Answer:

E. Electrostatic discharge (ESD)
