Which outcome occurs when a capacitor in a pulsed laser power supply experiences dielectric breakdown?

💡 Explanation

Increased energy dissipation as heat occurs because dielectric breakdown causes unrestricted current flow across the capacitor plates via impact ionization, therefore short-circuiting capacitor function rather than improving focusing or affecting repetition; different breakdown requires thermal overload.
