What is the role of the high voltage power supply in the coin shrinking process?

• To cool down the system during operation

• To directly power the electromagnet

• To charge the capacitor to a high voltage

• To provide a low voltage at high current

Why do the brass balls in the switch mechanism not touch each other?

• To prevent electrical discharge

• To allow for manual operation

• Inducing a current in the capacitor

• Heating the coil

What happens to the coil during the coin shrinking process?

• It remains intact

• It shrinks along with the coin

• It explodes outward

• It melts due to heat
