Which outcome results when a capacitive sensor's plates are stressed?

A)Dielectric breakdown failure is more likely✓

B)Capacitance increases linearly with stress

C)Resonance frequency locks onto strain rate

D)Electrostatic discharge becomes self-limiting

💡 Explanation

Reduced plate spacing increases electric field strength past the dielectric's breakdown voltage limit because increased external stress induces **dielectric polarization**. Therefore, dielectric breakdown is more likely rather than any proportional change electrostatics, because gap decrease exacerbates field strength.
