Which risk increases when a circuit's parasitic capacitance resonates?

💡 Explanation

Dielectric breakdown is hastened during parasitic resonance because the amplified voltage stresses the dielectric material beyond its limit, causing failure. Therefore dielectric breakdown increases, rather than Joule heating, which is affected at different conditions.
