Which outcome occurs when a poorly manufactured high-frequency capacitor exceeds its voltage rating in an RF amplifier?

💡 Explanation

Dielectric breakdown results in arc formation because the high voltage exceeds the dielectric's strength, overcoming its insulating properties, leading to a conductive path rather than maintaining charge separation. Therefore, arcing happens; rather than ESR increases or frequency decreases, both of which are related to smaller overloads
