← ScienceWhich behavior does overvoltage cause within dielectric material?
A)Increased current flow, eventual dielectric breakdown✓
B)Decreased temperature, increased charge storage
C)Stable electron flow, reduced capacitance
D)Balanced ion concentration, limited polarization
💡 Explanation
Dielectric breakdown initiates when the electric field exceeds dielectric strength; this prompts increased conduction through the insulation via electron avalanches in the material because internal structure is overwhelmed, therefore breakdown results rather than capacitance improvements from increased charge storage alone under normal conditions.
