As little as a 20V electrostatic discharge through some modern components will cause latent damage that could cause sudden failure months or years later.

What are the significance of computer peripherals in computer system?

The different peripherals are designed so that one component may fit one slot but not another. This is due to the different voltages certain components require to function. There for if you plug a component into a lower voltage peripheral then it would not work and if you plug a component into a higher voltage peripheral then it poses a fire hazzard as to much voltage can cause over heating and component failure.


Which permanently damages a computer component damage caused by ESD or damage caused by EMI?

Damage caused by electrostatic discharge (ESD) is more likely to permanently damage a computer component as it can often cause immediate and irreparable harm to sensitive electronic parts. While damage from electromagnetic interference (EMI) can also affect computer components, it is usually more temporary and can be mitigated by proper shielding or grounding techniques.

Which permanently damages a computer component damge caused by esd or damage caused by emi?

ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) can permanently damage a computer component by creating a sudden surge of electricity that can break down the delicate circuitry. EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) can disrupt the functioning of computer components temporarily, but if intense and prolonged, it could also lead to permanent damage by causing overheating or electronic stress.
