Answers: EMI: It is the process which gives out disruptive EM waves, transmits energy from one electronic device to another via radiated/conducted paths. In common usage, the term refers to RF signals. EMC: The capability of electrical/electronic systems/equipment & devices to operate in their intended EM environment within a defined margin of safety & at design levels/performance, without suffering or causing unacceptable degradation as a result of EMI. Where does exits: Any source of changing voltage anywhere in the c
