← ScienceWhich risk increases when electrostatic discharge exceeds capacitor limits?
A)Dielectric breakdown lowers capacitance✓
B)Equivalent series resistance significantly decreases
C)Plate area spontaneously experiences reduction
D)Stored charge experiences accelerated quantum tunneling
💡 Explanation
Dielectric breakdown results from excessive electric field strength; therefore, internal shorting drastically lowers capacitance, because it bypasses insulation built to handle applied charge rather the charge directly escaping, and lowers working voltage.
