Which outcome occurs when a capacitor discharges through a parasitic inductance in a power circuit?

💡 Explanation

Damaging voltage ringing occurs because the parasitic inductance in the power circuit interacts with the capacitance forming an LC circuit capable of resonance. Therefore, high-frequency oscillations result, rather than stable damping. LC impedance mismatches contribute.
