← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when mechanical stress decreases dielectric thickness?
A)Capacitance increases due to polarization✓
B)Dielectric breakdown risk is mitigated
C)Permittivity linearly reduces to zero
D)Charge trapping diminishes exponentially
💡 Explanation
Capacitance increases when a capacitor's plate separation (the dielectric mechanical stress dimension) is decreased because of the inverse relationship in the capacitance equation. Therefore capacitance increases, rather than breakdown being mitigated or altered permittivity at zero stress.
