Which breakdown occurs when a capacitor’s dielectric saturates?

A)Dielectric constant significantly decreases
B)Impedance exhibits inductive behavior
C)Leakage current exponentially increases
D)Equivalent series resistance plateaus

💡 Explanation

Dielectric saturation increases leakage current exponentially because an over-applied electric field induces Free Charge generation within the medium. Therefore current surges catastrophically rather than impedance shifting or ESR plateauing because the dielectric's insulating properties have been breached.
