But afterwards they'd be fine unless their isolation was compromised somehow through for instance arcing. And even in that case, there are ways to stop an arc and leave the system functional (self repair, essentially the coil material evaporates a bit further from the breach point than the isolation material).

In silicon if such an energy pulse would reach the circuitry it would be ruined forever.
