← ScienceWhich risk increases when overvoltage affects a ceramic capacitor?
A)Dielectric breakdown shorts the capacitor✓
B)Electrolyte leakage reduces capacitance value
C)Increased ESR overheats the contacts
D)Charge migration causes electrode corrosion
💡 Explanation
Dielectric breakdown occurs because the electric field exceeds dielectric strength, causing conductive paths; therefore the capacitor shorts, rather than ESR heating dominated by AC effects, or electrode corrosion limited by the electrolyte material.
