Which risk increases when electrostatic discharge exceeds capacitor limits?

💡 Explanation

Dielectric breakdown results from excessive electric field strength; therefore, internal shorting drastically lowers capacitance, because it bypasses insulation built to handle applied charge rather the charge directly escaping, and lowers working voltage.
