← ScienceWhich operational outcome occurs when the dielectric strength decreases in a capacitor?
A)Capacitor's plate separation decreases notably
B)Capacitor experiences dielectric breakdown, quickly✓
C)Accumulated steady-state surface current flow
D)Capacitor value drifts to higher stable
💡 Explanation
Dielectric breakdown happens because the electric field exceeds dielectric strength and causes ionization within. Therefore, breakdown starts rather than changes geometry; this also is influenced by temperature, rather than plate spacing.
