Insulation breakdown may occur at _______(a) High temperature(b) Low temperature(c) At any temperature(d) Depends on pressureThis question was addressed to me during an interview.Question is from Conductors and Insulators in division Charges and Fields of Physics – Class 12 |

Answer» RIGHT answer is (a) High temperature The explanation: At high temperatures, electrons of insulators GET excited and then the electrons can overcome the large energy band gaps between VALENCE and conduction bands. So a large number of electrons TRAVEL to the conduction band and they ACT as conductor i.e. insulation breakdown occurs. |
