← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when the dielectric of a capacitor in an LC oscillator circuit fails?
A)Oscillation frequency drifts upwards✓
B)Increased circuit energy dissipation
C)Resonance develops complex harmonics
D)Reduced electromagnetic interference emissions
💡 Explanation
The resonant frequency increases because capacitance depends inversely on the dielectric constant; therefore, a failing dielectric results in a higher frequency of electromagnetic oscillation, rather than increased loss with damping or harmonic alterations.
