← ScienceWhich consequence results when the dielectric constant degrades within a capacitor substrate?
A)Increased leakage current occurs✓
B)The ESR value is stabilized
C)Improved heat dissipation results
D)Breakdown voltage does increase
💡 Explanation
Rising leakage occurs because decreased polarization via dielectric constant diminishes a capacitor’s ability to store charge, stimulating parasitic conductance from device imperfections; therefore internal current leakage increases rather than sustaining superior performance from breakdown protection improvements.
