← ScienceWhich behavior occurs across a capacitor array when subjected to disruptive transient voltage?
A)Dielectric breakdown initiates cascade failure✓
B)Increased ESR damps voltage fluctuations
C)Mutual inductance causes charge cancellation
D)Charge migration reduces overall capacitance
💡 Explanation
Dielectric breakdown initiates a cascade failure when a transient voltage exceeds the capacitors' voltage rating because the increased electric field exceeds the dielectric strength, therefore breakdown propagates rather than being contained, because damaged insulators cannot repel current.
