← ScienceWhich outcome results when exceeding dielectric breakdown field strength?
A)Capacitor internal short circuit occurs✓
B)Increased capacitance within operational limits
C)Improved energy storage within the dielectric
D)Stable, increased voltage-holding capability
💡 Explanation
Exceeding dielectric strength causes dielectric breakdown, because the insulation suddenly conducts. This results in a short circuit, therefore current strongly increases in the capacitor, rather than improved energy storage since the material now fails.
