← ScienceWhich consequence results when a dielectric's breakdown strength is exceeded when hit with intense radio wave propagation?
A)Increased Faraday cage effectiveness
B)Dielectric material molecular polarization flips
C)Arcing inside the capacitor forms✓
D)Reduced skin effect on conductors
💡 Explanation
Arcing occurs within the capacitor due to dielectric breakdown. This initiates dielectric discharge, because the intense electric field from the radio wave exceeds the dielectric strength causing ionization. Therefore discharge happens, rather than polarization changes, under lower-intensity fields.
