← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when an improperly shielded high-frequency capacitor?
A)Increased equivalent series inductance (ESL)✓
B)Improved power factor correction ability
C)Decreased dielectric breakdown voltage
D)Enhanced electrostatic discharge protection
💡 Explanation
Increased ESL will occur due to parasitic inductance because inadequate shielding allows external magnetic fields to induce currents within the capacitor's structure; therefore increasing ESL, rather than, reduced voltage as parasitic inductance dominates impeding high-frequency performance.
