Which outcome occurs when a microwave cavity exceeds saturation energy?

💡 Explanation

Dielectric breakdown occurs because exceeding the threshold field causes ionization; this generates conductive plasma, shorting the field, therefore wave transmission breaks, rather than frequency distortion because that requires slow change in geometry.
