Which risk increases when a planar capacitor's dielectric degrades?

💡 Explanation

Decreasing dielectric strength lowers the electric field needed to cause dielectric breakdown, because defects now allow easier electron arcing and increased current density; therefore breakdown risk increases rather than frequency shift or affecting the spacing.
