Which outcome occurs when significant parasitic inductance exists within a ceramic capacitor?

A)Self-resonance occurs at a specific frequency✓

B)Capacitance increases linearly with temperature

C)Effective series resistance decreases predictably

D)Dielectric breakdown voltage sharply increases

💡 Explanation

Self-resonance is induced because parasitic inductance forms a resonant tank circuit. This decreases impedance at the resonant frequency; therefore, self-resonance results, rather than predictably affecting temperature, resistance, or breakdown voltage since inductance is the primary driver.
