Which undesirable outcome arises due to dielectric breakdown?

💡 Explanation

Dielectric breakdown causes arcing because the electric field exceeds the material's breakdown strength, leading to a conductive path during the Avalanche Breakdown mechanism. Consequently, arcing results in component destruction via thermal runaway, rather than increased energy storage as the component shorts.
