← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when contaminants increase capacitor dielectric loss?
A)Increased equivalent series resistance✓
B)Reduced resonant frequency deviation
C)Higher self-discharge capacitance
D)Decreased transient thermal impedance
💡 Explanation
Increased dielectric loss leads to increased equivalent series resistance, arising from increased energy dissipation through dielectric polarization and relaxation loss mechanisms. Therefore, increased ESR occurs rather than reduced frequency deviation, because the capacitor acts less like an ideal component.
