Which outcome occurs when a high voltage, exceeding dielectric strength, is applied across electrodes coated in epoxy?

💡 Explanation

Dielectric breakdown occurs because voltage exceeding the dielectric strength causes covalent bond rupture, resulting in a sudden current surge therefore dielectric breakdown rather than any change in mechanical or conductivity characteristics because these rely on different mechanisms.
