Which risk increases when a spacecraft's power capacitor bank overheats?

💡 Explanation

Decreased capacitance occurs because elevated temperatures increase the dielectric material's ion mobility inside the capacitor, initiating dielectric breakdown, which drops capacitance, and potentially causes catastrophic system failure, rather than alternative effects related to magnetics.
