Which risk increases when overvoltage affects a ceramic capacitor?

💡 Explanation

Dielectric breakdown occurs because the electric field exceeds dielectric strength, causing conductive paths; therefore the capacitor shorts, rather than ESR heating dominated by AC effects, or electrode corrosion limited by the electrolyte material.
