alleryThe largest field a dielectric can withstand without breaking down is its:
ADielectric strength
BCapacitance value
CPermittivity value
DPolarisation level
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Dielectric strength
1. Too strong a field destroys the insulating property.
2. The limit has a name.
3. It is the dielectric strength.
