Which risk increases when a planar capacitor's dielectric degrades?

A)Dielectric breakdown voltage decreases✓

B)Capacitance temperature coefficient reduces

C)Electrode separation distance increases

D)Resonant frequency steadily increases

💡 Explanation

Decreasing dielectric strength lowers the electric field needed to cause dielectric breakdown, because defects now allow easier electron arcing and increased current density; therefore breakdown risk increases rather than frequency shift or affecting the spacing.
