← ScienceWhich outcome results when extreme thermal stress exceeds capacitor limit?
A)Dielectric material experiences complete failure✓
B)ESR decreases overall equivalent impedance
C)Capacitance value increases exponentially
D)Self-healing occurs by redox reaction
💡 Explanation
Complete dielectric failure occurs because *dielectric breakdown* permanently changes the insulating properties, exceeding temperature limits of the capacitor, thus reducing its ability to store charge; therefore the whole substance fails rather than performance changes, under nominal conditions withstanding high voltage electrostatic environments.
