Which outcome results when exceeding dielectric breakdown field strength?

💡 Explanation

Exceeding dielectric strength causes dielectric breakdown, because the insulation suddenly conducts. This results in a short circuit, therefore current strongly increases in the capacitor, rather than improved energy storage since the material now fails.
