    DM noise affects equipment primarily by corrupting transmitted signals on a unbalanced circuit? 2-21

    • Ture

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    DM noise does not primarily affect equipment by corrupting transmitted signals on an unbalanced circuit. DM noise, also known as common-mode noise, is a type of electromagnetic interference that affects both the signal and ground lines of a balanced circuit. It causes interference by inducing noise voltages that are common to both the signal and ground lines, resulting in signal degradation. Therefore, the given statement is false.
