← ScienceWhich risk increases when bypass capacitor ESR increases?
A)Increased regulator output voltage ripple✓
B)Decreased magnetic core saturation
C)Increased dielectric breakdown strength
D)Decreased operational amplifier input bias
💡 Explanation
Increased ESR in a bypass capacitor causes more AC voltage drop due to Ohm's law; the ripple increases because the **impedance** rises causing higher voltage fluctuations. Therefore, voltage ripple is enhanced rather than decreased, with minimal effects on magnetic saturation.
