Which outcome occurs when AC voltage frequency applied across dielectric material within capacitor approaches its resonant frequency?

💡 Explanation

When AC frequency nears resonant frequency, dielectric losses intensify because the polarization mechanism lags behind the rapidly changing electric field leading to significant heat generation that causes dielectric breakdown. Therefore, dielectric breakdown results, rather than increased capacitance, increased impedance, or stable charge storage which require lower frequency applications.
