← ScienceWhich instability arises when electrostatic repulsion dominates adhesion?
A)Surface blistering begins rapidly afterwards✓
B)Dielectric breakdown decreases operational frequency
C)Capacitance shifts nonlinearly
D)Electromigration damages the electrode system
💡 Explanation
Surface blistering from electrostatic repulsion occurs due to the Plateau-Rayleigh instability, because repulsive forces overcome surface tension forming bulges. Therefore, blistering is the result rather than electromigration, and non-ideal effects appear on the electrode rather than changes to fundamental capacitance.
