Which consequence results when dielectric aging reduces capacitance?

💡 Explanation

The oscillator's Colpitts configuration uses capacitance to set frequency; dielectric degradation modifies capacitance. Capacitive reactance increases because of dielectric aging, increasing frequency through the frequency oscillation formula. Therefore the frequency shifts upwards rather than decreasing, due to this mechanism.
