Which outcome occurs when a non-polar molecular liquid is subjected to an increasing electric field?

💡 Explanation

When an electric field increases around a non-polar liquid, polarization occurs because temporary dipoles are induced, attracting more molecules until dielectric breakdown strength is reached, causing a drop in required field strength, not constant density, repulsive interactions, or decreasing viscosity, which need other mechanisms.
