Which outcome occurs when a dielectric saturates in capacitor?

A)Decreased maximum operating voltage rating
B)Increased equivalent series resistance (ESR)
C)Enhanced self-healing upon overvoltage
D)Improved temperature coefficient stability

💡 Explanation

Dielectric saturation leads to reduced permittivity and increased charge leakage, because the electric field is no longer proportional to the applied voltage due to polarization saturation. Therefore, the maximum operating voltage decreases, rather than increasing resistance or improving stability under thermal changes.
