Assertion: Insulating materials may not provide insulation when subjected to a very high electric field condition. Reason: When electric field is applied on a dielectric or insulating material then it aligns polar molecules of dielectric in the direction of electric field and at the same time positive and negative ends of the molecule experience force along opposite directions and molecule is stretched. Abnormally high electric field can stretch the molecule beyond permissible limits and negative ends or electrons are separated from molecules and material start conducting electricity. This phenomenon is called breakdown.
