← ScienceWhich consequence results when exceeding the dielectric strength while propagating a capacitor-based resonant signal?
A)Capacitance value becomes permanently reduced
B)Arcing initiates, causing material breakdown✓
C)Resonant frequency shifts to compensate
D)Inductance increases within the circuit
💡 Explanation
Arcing initiates, causing material breakdown, because a breakdown voltage causes rapid, uncontrolled electron flow AKA dielectric breakdown; therefore, current bypasses insulation and burns the material, rather than altering capacitance or similar changes.
