Which failure occurs when rapid capacitor discharge exceeds design limits?

💡 Explanation

Rapid discharge induces high electric fields; exceeding the dielectric strength causes dielectric breakdown, because electrons accelerate and trigger a chain reaction; therefore current runaway occurs, rather than stable high current as electrolyte would increase ESR and alter resonance.
