critical voltage

Electronic components; Capacitors

The voltage at which gas ionizes and corona occurs, preliminary to dielectric breakdown of the gas.

The insulating material between the plates of the capacitor. The material is chosen for its ability to permit electrostatic attraction and repulsion to take place across it. The material will have ...
