Which risk increases when a capacitor bank supplying pulsed power to a high-energy laser is operated near its maximum energy rating?

💡 Explanation

Operating near the maximum voltage increases the electric field across the dielectric; dielectric breakdown occurs due to exceeding the dielectric strength. Therefore, catastrophic failure risks elevate rather than electrode corrosion or thermal imbalances under normal operation.
