Which outcome is likely when extreme vibrations mechanically degrade capacitor dielectrics?

A)Increased equivalent series resistance (ESR)
B)Decreased electromagnetic interference shielding
C)Increased energy storage capability
D)Decreased temperature coefficient of capacitance

💡 Explanation

Increased ESR results from degradation. The mechanical breakdown introduces imperfections, thus reducing effective insulation and resulting in higher resistance because the increased charge leakage path; therefore, ESR increases, rather than capacitance increasing via improved storage or temperature coefficient changes.
