Which consequence results when electrostatic discharge exceeds insulator rating?

💡 Explanation

Dielectric breakdown occurs during overvoltage conditions in a capacitor, because the electric field exceeds the dielectric strength introducing conductive defects; therefore, the capacitance permanently decreases, rather than causing changes in resonant frequency or conduction, occurring under normal conditions.
