← ScienceWhich limit results when exceeding dielectric strength during capacitor oscillations?
A)Decreased resonant frequency accuracy
B)Reduced capacitor storage capacity
C)Oscillation damping increases sharply
D)Dielectric breakdown initiates propagation✓
💡 Explanation
Dielectric breakdown facilitates propagating arc discharges because electron avalanche ionizes the dielectric, therefore, a breakdown path is created rather than continued oscillation, because the material acts as conductor and no longer accumulates charge.
