Which outcome typically arises when rapid overvoltage stresses a ceramic capacitor?

💡 Explanation

Ceramic capacitors can fail via dielectric breakdown because extreme voltage exceeds the material's insulation capability forming a conductive path; therefore breakdown occurs, rather than increased capacitance, which would require different conditions and results in gradual degradation instead.
