Which risk increases when the gap between capacitor plates narrows?

💡 Explanation

Capacitance increases when the plate separation decreases because decreased separation directly augments the **electric field** from voltage source, which fosters charge storage at the plates; therefore capacitance rises, rather than inductance changes or dielectric breakdown, which involve failure.
