Which outcome occurs when a capacitor's dielectric thickness is critically thinned to enhance energy density?

💡 Explanation

Increased electron quantum tunnelling current occurs because reducing the dielectric thickness causes a higher probability of electrons tunnelling, across the insulating layer. Therefore energy is dissipated, rather than lower breakdown, which is limited by material.
