Which outcome occurs when a capacitor's dielectric begins to chemically decompose?

💡 Explanation

Dielectric decomposition induces increased ionic conductivity, because degradation allows more current to flow due to the increased ion number via ionic conduction, thus causing leakage increase, which also reduced capacitance. Therefore, 'Capacitance decreases', therefore it is leakage incremented rather than inductance increasing under stress.
