← ScienceWhich consequence results when excessive voltage stress induces dielectric breakdown in ceramic capacitors used in resonant converters?
A)Short circuit forms permanently✓
B)Capacitance value increases linearly
C)Equivalent series resistance decreases
D)Self-healing process fully restores
💡 Explanation
A short circuit occurs because dielectric breakdown leads to a conductive path formation within the dielectric material of the capacitor. This is destructive breakdown rather than self-healing, therefore the capacitor permanently fails rather than recovers.
