Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) : Electromagnetic Field Theory - Quiz(MCQ)
A dielectric can be made a conductor by
A)
Heating
B)
Doping
C)
Freezing
D)
Compression

Correct Answer : Option (A) :   Heating


Explanation : On increasing the temperature, the free electrons in an insulator can be promoted from valence to conduction band. Gradually, it can act as a conductor through heating process. This condition is called dielectric breakdown, wherein the insulator loses its dielectric property and starts to conduct.
