← ScienceWhich failure occurs when a capacitive proximity sensor detects rapid overvoltages?
A)Dielectric breakdown shorts plates✓
B)Increased magnetic flux feedback
C)Electromagnetically induced signal boost
D)Capacitance change resolves transient
💡 Explanation
Dielectric breakdown occurs because the electric field exceeds the dielectric strength of the insulator between the capacitor plates, therefore creating a short, rather than the transient signal simply resolving itself or causing increased flux.
