Dielectric Breakdown
Summary
Dielectric breakdown
is a phenomenon where an
insulating material
becomes conductive due to the application of a
strong electric field
, leading to a sudden and
irreversible failure
of the material. This process involves the
ionization of atoms
within the dielectric, creating a
conductive path
that allows current to flow, often resulting in damage or
destruction of the material
.
