How does a ferrite bead or core reduce common-mode RF current on the shield of a coaxial cable?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: A. By creating an impedance in the current's path
A ferrite bead or core adds impedance to the common-mode current flowing on the outside of the coax shield. That impedance chokes off the unwanted current.
Tip: Ferrite chokes current with impedance.
