← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a capacitor's electrolyte dries out?
A)Equivalent series resistance increases rapidly✓
B)Capacitance increases beyond rated value
C)Self-resonance frequency decreases linearly
D)Breakdown voltage increases exponentially
💡 Explanation
The equivalent series resistance (ESR) increases dramatically because the electrolyte drying reduces the effective conductive area for charge transport, greatly inhibiting ion flow, therefore ESR rapidly climbs rather than capacitance increasing or other parameters shifting systematically.
