← ScienceWhich limiting electrical condition increases when electrolyte leakage degrades capacitor performance?
A)Equivalent series resistance✓
B)Dielectric breakdown voltage
C)Insulation resistance value
D)Capacitance temperature coefficient
💡 Explanation
With electrolyte leakage, increased ion mobility elevates the **Ohmic heating** of the capacitor because ion mobility increases resistance therefore increases. Increased ESR can cause premature component failure, rather than altered breakdown voltage or similar issues under controlled conditions.
