Which outcome occurs when excessive displacement current flows in the dielectric of a capacitor within a high-frequency circuit?

💡 Explanation

Dielectric breakdown occurs because the excessive displacement current induces a high electric field exceeding the dielectric strength; this is Field Emission. Therefore a conductive path forms, rather than improved characteristics, because this exceeds a thermal limit.
