Which outcome results when a capacitor is overcharged?

💡 Explanation

Overcharging exceeds the dielectric strength, causing dielectric breakdown because it overwhelms the insulating capacity; therefore it leads to a short circuit, rather than stably increasing capacitance or voltage reduction under normal operational limits.
