A dielectric can be made a conductor by Correct Answer Heating

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.
