Question

explain mechanism of dielectric breakdown.... ➖➖➖➖​

Answer 1

hlo mate here is ur ans.....

Electrical breakdown or dielectric breakdown is a process that occurs when an electrical insulating material, subjected to a high enough voltage, suddenly becomes an electrical conductor and electric current flows through it. All insulating materials undergo breakdown when the electric field caused by an applied voltage exceeds the material's dielectric strength.

The voltage at which a given insulating object becomes conductive is called its breakdown voltage and depends on its size and shape. Under sufficient electrical potential, electrical breakdown can occur within solids, liquids, gases or vacuum. However, the specific breakdown mechanisms are different for each kind of dielectric medium.

Electrical breakdown may be a momentary event (as in an electrostatic discharge), or may lead to a continuous electric arc if protective devices fail to interrupt the current in a power circuit. In this case electrical breakdown can cause catastrophic failure of electrical equipment, and fire hazards.....

pls mark as brainliest dear.......

Answer 2

Hie Mate ✌️

The mechanism of dielectric breakdown in solids, according to recent experimental evidence, involves the creation of a gaseous channel through the dielectric. The high conductance of breakdown appears to be associated with this channel, not with conduction through the solid itself......!!
