What is EMP?

[NAS]

Hi, I was just wondering what does the EMP stand for in the Matrix?
Also, when it is switched on..what is the effect?

Electro Magnetic Pulse - Disrupts the flow of electrons in conductive substances.

LIke the pinch they used in Ocean's Eleven to blackout Vegas for 20 seconds.

Therefore, in the first Matrix, when Morpheus switches on the EMP, the sentinels drop dead...thats caused because of interruption to the electron flow mechanism.

There must be a better explanation

it is a pulse of electrical energy, like after a nuclear bomb, that fries electronics that aren't properly shielded.
