Which outcome results when electrostatic discharge damages a capacitor?

💡 Explanation

Dielectric breakdown causes a short circuit, because the electric field exceeds the dielectric strength, therefore causing a conductive path internal to the capacitor rather than proper charge storage via insulator material.
