Which consequence results when a dielectric with small defects is persistently exposed to intense Microwave radiation?

💡 Explanation

Dielectric breakdown occurs because imperfections concentrate microwave fields. This initiates avalanche ionization; therefore, increased voltage leads to material failure rather than increased transmission, because localized currents overwhelm the material's resistance.
