Which outcome results when a capacitor is overcharged?

A)Dielectric breakdown causes short circuit
B)Increased capacitance stores more energy
C)Voltage decrease stabilizes the circuit
D)Plate separation uniformly increases linearly

💡 Explanation

Overcharging exceeds the dielectric strength, causing dielectric breakdown because it overwhelms the insulating capacity; therefore it leads to a short circuit, rather than stably increasing capacitance or voltage reduction under normal operational limits.
