Which failure occurs when a capacitive proximity sensor detects rapid overvoltages?

A)Dielectric breakdown shorts plates
B)Increased magnetic flux feedback
C)Electromagnetically induced signal boost
D)Capacitance change resolves transient

💡 Explanation

Dielectric breakdown occurs because the electric field exceeds the dielectric strength of the insulator between the capacitor plates, therefore creating a short, rather than the transient signal simply resolving itself or causing increased flux.
