← ScienceWhich failure results when capacitive reactance nears zero?
A)Reduced DC blocking effectiveness✓
B)Increased dielectric breakdown strength
C)Amplified transient voltage spikes
D)Oscillation frequency becomes uncontrolled
💡 Explanation
Reduced DC blocking occurs because decreased capacitive reactance at high frequencies allows DC current to pass; this bypasses the capacitor's intended function of blocking DC currents. Therefore, DC blocking fails, rather than voltage amplification or changing dielectric properties.
