← ScienceWhich mechanism governs the non-linear voltage distribution across multiple ceramic capacitors connected in series?
A)Differential temperature coefficients affecting ESR
B)Variations in DC leakage current across capacitors✓
C)Dielectric absorption causing voltage redistribution
D)Electromagnetic interference inducing parasitic voltages
💡 Explanation
When ceramic capacitors are in series, even slight variations in their DC leakage current cause varied voltage drops because the current through all is equal, following Ohm's law, leading to voltage imbalance. Therefore the voltage distribution deviates nonlinearly, rather than from temperature, absorption or interference, requiring different physical factors.
