← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a voltage spike exceeds nanocapacitor endurance limits?
A)Dielectric breakdown shorts plates✓
B)ESR increases without capacitance loss
C)Parasitic inductance causes ringing
D)Equivalent series resistance reduces charge
💡 Explanation
Dielectric breakdown occurs because the exceeding voltage creates an electric field strength surpassing the dielectric material's ability to resist ionization leading to sudden electrical conduction with internal short circuit; therefore, dielectric breakdown, rather than any gradual change, occurs.
