Which risk increases significantly when transient voltage exceeds a capacitor's limit?

💡 Explanation

Dielectric breakdown is greatly increased. Overvoltage causes high electric field stress, creating ionization via the Avalanche Effect; therefore, breakdown is likely, rather than increased resistance or unrelated changes to inductance, because the dielectric properties determine failure.
