Which risk increases when a submarine's variable ballast capacitor reaches voltage breakdown?

💡 Explanation

Nonlinear buoyancy presents greatest danger. Dielectric breakdown causes capacitance to become heavily voltage-dependent because the effective plate separation changes non-uniformly with voltage, therefore the buoyancy changes unpredictably instead of proportionally, rather than triggering cascading failures through overcurrent.
