Which risk increases when a PCB decoupling capacitor fails?

💡 Explanation

Increased ripple voltage occurs because the capacitor no longer effectively performs its intended decoupling function. Specifically, failing capacitance causes higher impedance at ripple frequencies; therefore, voltage regulation degrades, rather than providing a stable power supply.
