← ScienceWhich consequence results when electrostatic discharge exceeds insulator rating?
A)Dielectric breakdown permanently reduces capacitance✓
B)Increased resonant frequency enhances signal transmission
C)Reduced inductance delays charge propagation
D)Ohmic heating improves internal conductivity
💡 Explanation
Dielectric breakdown occurs during overvoltage conditions in a capacitor, because the electric field exceeds the dielectric strength introducing conductive defects; therefore, the capacitance permanently decreases, rather than causing changes in resonant frequency or conduction, occurring under normal conditions.
