← ScienceWhich consequence results when oxide layers fail within a capacitor?
A)Dielectric breakdown causes short circuit✓
B)Increased equivalent series resistance results
C)Reduced capacitance impacts resonant frequency
D)Electrolyte leakage increases internal pressure
💡 Explanation
Dielectric breakdown occurs as a consequence of excessive charge accumulation initiating a conductive path because field strength surpasses material limits allowing current flow rather than charge storage; therefore shorting the circuit, ignoring ESR change and pressure effects.
