Which outcome occurs when internal molecular dipole alignment destabilizes?

💡 Explanation

Increased dielectric breakdown susceptibility occurs because weakened molecular dipole alignment reduces polarization, diminishing the material's ability to resist external electric fields via dielectric polarization. Therefore, breakdown susceptibility, rather than energy storage/thermal stability, increases because the dipoles can no longer suppress ionization.
