Which behavior does overvoltage cause within dielectric material?

💡 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.
