Which consequence results when a capacitor's dielectric fails during electrostatic discharge?

💡 Explanation

A dielectric failure causes a short-circuit path, therefore, ESR increases as electrons flow through the compromised dielectric layer rather than experiencing pure capacitance; increased resistance occurs rather than increased reactance because of dielectric breakdown.
