← ScienceWhich risk increases when the gap between capacitor plates narrows?
A)Dielectric breakdown field strength increases
B)Internal inductance becomes significantly lower
C)Capacitance increases charge accumulation✓
D)Equivalent series resistance severely decreases
💡 Explanation
Capacitance increases when the plate separation decreases because decreased separation directly augments the **electric field** from voltage source, which fosters charge storage at the plates; therefore capacitance rises, rather than inductance changes or dielectric breakdown, which involve failure.
