Which outcome results when extreme thermal stress exceeds capacitor limit?

💡 Explanation

Complete dielectric failure occurs because *dielectric breakdown* permanently changes the insulating properties, exceeding temperature limits of the capacitor, thus reducing its ability to store charge; therefore the whole substance fails rather than performance changes, under nominal conditions withstanding high voltage electrostatic environments.
