dielectric strength (uncountable)
The minimum applied electric field that results in the electrical breakdown of a dielectric material.
Examples
However, it has higher resistivity and dielectric strength than most insulators commonly available in microfabrication (10 16 Ω ·cm and 10 MV /cm, respectively).
Dielectric films tend to exhibit greater dielectric strength than thicker samples of the same material.
The theoretical dielectric strength of a material is an intrinsic property of the bulk material and is independent of the configuration of the material or the electrodes with which the field is applied.
This "intrinsic dielectric strength" corresponds to what would be measured using pure materials under ideal laboratory conditions.
