Which consequence results when dielectric strength fails in decoupling capacitor?

A)Uncontrolled surge current propagates
B)Operating frequency spontaneously decreases
C)Increased electromagnetic interference shielding
D)Reduced sensitivity to reverse polarity

💡 Explanation

A compromised dielectric initiates dielectric breakdown because applied voltage exceeds the capacitor's withstanding capability, therefore allows for a surge current to short-circuit. This results in uncontrolled, erratic behavior rather than improved behavior, under nominal conditions.
