Which consequence results when dielectric breakdown occurs in capacitive sensors?

💡 Explanation

When dielectric breakdown occurs, a surge current damages sensor capacitors, increasing leakage. Therefore, the signal distorts from noise because the capacitance's insulation fails, rather than improving, and the resonant properties change little without further structural alteration.
