elektrilõhete
Elektrilõhete, often translated as electric fissures or electrical cracks, refers to the phenomenon of electrical breakdown in insulating materials, leading to the formation of transient conductive pathways. This occurs when the applied electric field strength exceeds the dielectric strength of the material. The intense electric field can accelerate free electrons within the material, causing them to collide with atoms and ions, releasing more electrons in a cascading effect known as an avalanche breakdown.
These conductive pathways, or lõhete, can be very brief and localized, or they can propagate through the
Factors influencing the formation of elektrilõhete include the material's dielectric strength, the presence of impurities or
