← ScienceWhich consequence results when pulsed power exceeds capacitor limit?
A)Dielectric breakdown becomes self-sustaining✓
B)ESR minimizes effective pulsed current
C)Capacitance increases due to polarization
D)Thermal runaway due to increased inductance
💡 Explanation
When voltage exceeds the capacitor's design, dielectric breakdown creates conductive paths through it, leading to a self-sustaining mechanism. Therefore, breakdown becomes self-sustaining rather than merely increasing capacitance because of the material properties at overvoltage.
