Which outcome results when a capacitor's leads corrode within a high-frequency resonant converter?

💡 Explanation

Corrosion causes increased equivalent series resistance (ESR), causing reduced ‘Q’ factor. This leads to a reduction in resonance; peak sharpness is diminished because damping has increased; therefore, efficiency goes down rather than up, because more energy dissipates.
