Interpretation:
The reason for certain electronic devices to be transported with desiccants needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Desiccants are hygroscopic materials which can absorb moisture of air.
Answer to Problem 177A
Electronic devices are transported with desiccants to prevent any damage due to moisture.
Explanation of Solution
When electronic devices are packed for transportation then some amount of air can be inside the package. This air might contain moisture which can damage the electronic devices because most of the electronic devices are highly moisture sensitive. Most of the electronic devices have small circuits which can be damaged due to moisture.
That’s why electronic devices are transported with desiccants.
Desiccants prevent the damage of electronic devices from moisture.
