Topic: Electric field strength


  
  Electric field - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Electric fields exist around all charges; the direction of field lines at a point is defined by the direction of the electric force exerted on a positive test charge placed at that point.
The strength of the field is defined by the ratio of the electric force on a charge at a point to the magnitude of the charge placed at that point.
The electric field or electric field intensity is a vector quantity, and the electric field strength is the magnitude of this vector.

 Dielectric strength - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The theoretical dielectric strength of a material is an intrinsic property of the bulk material and is not dependent on the configuration of the material or the electrodes with which the field is applied.
If the applied electric field is sufficiently high, free electrons may become accelerated to velocities that can liberate additional electrons during collisions with neutral atoms or molecules in a process called avalanche breakdown.
The field strength at which breakdown occurs in a given case is dependent on the respective geometries of the dielectric (insulator) and the electrodes with which the electric field is applied, as well as the rate of increase at which the electric field is applied.
