Which risk increases significantly when dielectric breakdown occurs in a capacitor exposed to strong radio-frequency fields?

💡 Explanation

Catastrophic overheating accelerates from dielectric breakdown because the increased conductive path allows substantial current to flow, enacting Joule heating. Therefore, heat is the primary risk rather than reduced storage; breakdown creates a short, not gradual degradation.
