Which consequence occurs from exceeding the voltage limit on radio-frequency waveguide?

💡 Explanation

Exceeding the voltage thresholds within dielectrics inside a waveguide results in dielectric breakdown and arcing, because intense electric fields cause ionization events leading to a conductive path. Therefore, arcing occurs, rather than enhanced transmission that is possible under voltage ratings.
