← ScienceWhich outcome results as a dielectric degrades within an RF capacitor used within an amplifier circuit?
A)Increased parasitic inductance is observed
B)Harmonic distortion signal amplification increases✓
C)Resonant frequency of tank circuit decreases
D)Internal equivalent series resistance decreases
💡 Explanation
As the dielectric degrades, charge storage reduces, increasing nonlinearities. This increases harmonic distortion because dielectric breakdown alters device capacitance characteristics; therefore distortion increases, rather than from parasitic inductance or changes to resonant frequency.
