Which outcome occurs when an energetic electron approaches insulation?

💡 Explanation

Avalanche multiplication occurs because impact ionization creates more free carriers; therefore, dielectric breakdown results, rather than simple polarization, which would require a lower voltage, with electron gaining substantial kinetic energy prior to the collision with atoms.
