Which operational outcome occurs when the dielectric strength decreases in a capacitor?

A)Capacitor's plate separation decreases notably

B)Capacitor experiences dielectric breakdown, quickly✓

C)Accumulated steady-state surface current flow

D)Capacitor value drifts to higher stable

💡 Explanation

Dielectric breakdown happens because the electric field exceeds dielectric strength and causes ionization within. Therefore, breakdown starts rather than changes geometry; this also is influenced by temperature, rather than plate spacing.
