← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a capacitive sensor experiences extreme compression?
A)Increased electrical charge accumulation
B)Dielectric breakdown occurs✓
C)Reduced overall measured impedance
D)Thermal runaway accelerates drastically
💡 Explanation
Dielectric breakdown occurs because intense pressure creates excessive electric field concentrations; this exceeds the dielectric strength’s limit, therefore it results in current flow and sensor damage rather than predictable capacitance behavior under normal operating compression levels.
