← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a dielectric fails inside tuning capacitance?
A)Oscillator frequency drastically shifts downward✓
B)Increased Q-factor in resonant tank circuit
C)Impedance matching improves signal strength
D)Reduced harmonic distortion near resonance
💡 Explanation
Frequency shifts downward because capacitance increases due to dielectric breakdown, initiating dielectric absorption effects rather than maintaining consistent permittivity. Increasing impedance improves signal elsewhere, which harmonic distortion is unaffected without dielectric stability issues.
