Definition of "Dielectric Breakdown" |
The rupture of an insulating material when the electric stress exceeds the dielectric strength. / Dielectric breakdown refers to a rapid reduction in the resistance of an electrical insulator when the voltage applied across it exceeds the breakdown voltage. This results in a portion of the insulator becoming electrically conductive. Electrical breakdown may be a momentary event as in an electrostatic discharge, or may lead to a continuous arc discharge if protective devices fail to interrupt the current in a high power circuit. / Tandem language learning occurs when two learners of different native languages work together to help each other learn the other language. First used in face-to-face contexts, Tandem is now increasingly being used by language-learning partners located in different countries who are linked via various forms of electronic communication, a context that has become known as eTandem. |
