← TechnologyWhich consequence results when exceeding capacitor ripple current rating?
A)Premature Equivalent Series Resistance increase✓
B)Inductance value shifts significantly
C)Decreased dielectric breakdown voltage
D)Increased parallel resistance and leakage
💡 Explanation
Exceeding the ripple current for a capacitor causes overheating due to its Equivalent Series Resistance; because of this, the premature degradation follows; therefore, the ESR increases rapidly, rather than changes to other intrinsic properties within normal operating parameters.
