Which outcome results as a dielectric degrades within an RF capacitor used within an amplifier circuit?

💡 Explanation

As the dielectric degrades, charge storage reduces, increasing nonlinearities. This increases harmonic distortion because dielectric breakdown alters device capacitance characteristics; therefore distortion increases, rather than from parasitic inductance or changes to resonant frequency.
