Which outcome occurs when a Class 2 ceramic capacitor experiences reverse polarity beyond its rated voltage?

💡 Explanation

When reversed polarity beyond the rating occurs, the piezoelectric effect in Class 2 ceramics causes ferro domains to reorient influencing capacitance and dissipation significantly. Therefore parametric shift results, rather than short circuit, explosion, or oxidation which dominate with tantalum or electrolytic capacitors and breakdown voltage exceedance.
