it decreases in strength in meany ways for different materials for exsample, with gases if there is an increase in humidity, then it decreases the dielectric strength
The dielectric breakdown strength is the maximum electric field that a dielectric material can withstand before it breaks down and allows electrical current to flow through it. It is a measure of the insulation properties of the material.
For an insulating material, the dielectric strength should be high to withstand high voltages without breaking down. Conversely, the dielectric loss should be low to minimize energy loss due to internal friction within the material when subjected to an electric field.
In SI, the unit of dielectric strength is volts per meter (V/m). In U.S. customary units, dielectric strength is often specified in volts per mil.In physics, dielectric strength 2 meanings:Of an insulating material, the maximum electric field that a pure material can withstand under ideal conditions without breaking down.For a specific configuration of dielectric material and electrodes, the minimum applied electric field that results in breakdown.
Generally, dielectric breakdown strength decreases with increasing humidity. In air, exact relationships between dielectric strength and humidity are hard to derive, due to the numerous other variables compounding the relationships (e.g. electrode size and shape, air temperature and pressure).

The dielectric strength refers to the maximum working voltage that a material can withstand without breaking down. At breakdown the electric field frees bound electrons turning the material into a conductor.
According to a few charts I was able to find, the most realistic material with the highest dielectric strength happens to be Mica, with dielectric strength of 118.
At high temperature the strength decrease.
For an insulating material dielectric strength and dielectric loss should be respectively
The dielectric strength of vacuum is infinite because there is no molecule in the vacuum.
The dielectric,usually the insulator between the plates of a capacitor, can be overstressed by the application of too high voltages applied to the capacitor plates. The dielectric breaks down and a current flows between the plates until,either they are discharged, or an equilibrium is reached,below the working voltage of the capacitor. If the dielectric is damaged in this process he capacitor must be replaced. Some dielectric material self heal and can recover from an over voltage.
high and high
No, these are two unrelated properties of a material.
The dielectric breakdown strength is 3,000 volts per millimeter.
The dielectric breakdown strength is the maximum electric field that a dielectric material can withstand before it breaks down and allows electrical current to flow through it. It is a measure of the insulation properties of the material.
ASTM D149 - 09 Standard Test Method for Dielectric Breakdown Voltage and Dielectric Strength of Solid Electrical Insulating Materials at Commercial Power Frequencies
dielectric strength is tested by transformer dielectric strength oil testing machine. at first, oil which is to be tested is pour near the two electrode. both the electrode should be dipped in oil . then adjust the distance between the electrode .now start the machine.when a sound came from machine then note down the dielectric strength of the oil.
For an insulating material, the dielectric strength should be high to withstand high voltages without breaking down. Conversely, the dielectric loss should be low to minimize energy loss due to internal friction within the material when subjected to an electric field.
