Which risk increases when aircraft experience sudden electrical surges during thunderstorms?

💡 Explanation

Electrical surges induce high voltage stress on aircraft capacitors; dielectric breakdown occurs because this stress exceeds the breakdown strength. It causes permanent damage rather than other failures, therefore threatening the stability of onboard electronic systems rather than mechanical functions.
