Which consequence of exceeding the dielectric strength in PCB traces?

💡 Explanation

When voltage exceeds the dielectric strength, dielectric breakdown occurs because ionization causes conductive plasma; therefore, a permanent short forms, rather than signal degradation that would recover once the overvoltage condition is removed.

• Which outcome occurs when a poorly grounded signal cable connects a high-frequency amplifier IC to a capacitive load?
• Which outcome results when surface corrosion increases the rate of aluminum oxide formation around microelectronic bond pads?
• Which mechanism minimizes signal loss during fiber optic propagation?
• Which risk increases when supercritical fission is sustained?
