Which outcome occurs when an electrostatic discharge (ESD) contacts a PCB?

💡 Explanation

An ESD causes dielectric breakdown in capacitors because a high voltage stresses the dielectric material past its withstanding limit and creates a path for electricity. Therefore capacitance reduces rather than inductance increasing, because different mechanisms are involved.
