In practice, capacitors deviate from the ideal capacitor equation in several aspects. Some of these, such as leakage current and parasitic effects are linear, or can be analyzed as nearly linear, and can be accounted for by adding virtual components to form an equivalent circuit. The usual methods of network analysis can then be applied. In other cases, such as with breakdown voltage, the effe
My reasoning behind the breakdown voltage being affected by the dielectric material, is along the lines of the the different amount of breakdown voltages for different types of insulators as well. Some materials make better insulators then others for the same thickness, as some materials are better suited as dielectrics in capacitors then others
Breakdown voltage is the minimum voltage that causes a portion of an insulator to become electrically conductive, resulting in a significant increase in current. This phenomenon occurs when the electric field across a dielectric material exceeds its critical limit, leading to the breakdown of its insulating properties.

The withstanding voltage of a silicon capacitor is defined by the BV, and the rated voltage is defined by the product lifetime and operating temperature. As an example, Murata indicates as the rated voltage the voltage at which the product is projected to have a service life of 10 years in a 100°C environment.
Abstract: The deep-depletion breakdown voltage of silicon-dioxide/ silicon MOS capacitors is determined by the ionization-integral method, with potential distributions computed by two-dimensional relaxation techniques. Calculations cover the range of substrate doping between 10 14 and 10 18 cm -3 and oxide thickness between 0.01 and 5.00 µm, providing plots of
As the voltage increases, the dielectric must be thicker, making high-voltage capacitors larger per capacitance than those rated for lower voltages. The breakdown voltage is critically affected by factors such as the geometry of the capacitor conductive parts; sharp edges or points increase the electric field strength at that point and can lead
Much like other capacitors, MLCCs have a voltage dependent lifetime acceleration. This degradation is due to Poole-Frenkel emission which leads to avalanche breakdown *43, 44. The lifetime of the capacitor is inversely related to the applied voltage raised to the power and is highly dependent on ceramic type and morphology. For example
What is the breakdown voltage of a capacitor? The breakdown voltage of a capacitor is the maximum voltage that can be applied before the dielectric material breaks down and allows current to flow between the plates.
Breakdowns are electron cascades. There are different kinds: 1) Intrinsic breakdown of the material occurs when the electric field is sufficiently strong to ionize an atom of the dielectric (or accelerate a stray electron sufficiently to do the same), with the resultant new free electrons then being accelerated by the field to repeat the process with another atom.
The withstanding voltage of a silicon capacitor is defined by the BV, and the rated voltage is defined by the product lifetime and operating temperature. As an example, Murata indicates as

The breakdown strength of the dielectric will set an upper limit on how large of a voltage may be placed across a capacitor before it is damaged. Breakdown strength is measured in volts per unit distance, thus, the closer the plates, the

Capacitors with different physical characteristics (such as shape and size of their plates) store different amounts of charge for the same applied voltage (V) across their plates. The capacitance (C) of a capacitor is

Capacitors have a maximum voltage, called the working voltage or rated voltage, which specifies the maximum potential difference that can be applied safely across the terminals. Exceeding the rated voltage causes the dielectric material between the capacitor plates to break down, resulting in permanent damage to the capacitor.
Every dielectric material used in the capacitor has a specific value of dielectric strength given by Ud, which decides the breakdown voltage of the capacitor as V = Vbd = Ud d. The maximum electrostatic energy that can be stored in a dielectric media placed between the plates during charging in a linear capacitor is
The various parameters that affect the breakdown voltage of the capacitor are humidity, pressure and temperature . The dielectric materials commonly used are paper, glass, ceramic, mica, plastic film, and oxide layers.
For air dielectric capacitors the breakdown field strength is of the order 2–5 MV/m (or kV/mm); for mica the breakdown is 100–300 MV/m; for oil, 15–25 MV/m; it can be much less when other materials are used for the dielectric. The dielectric is used in very thin layers and so absolute breakdown voltage of capacitors is limited.
The dielectric is used in very thin layers and so absolute breakdown voltage of capacitors is limited. Typical ratings for capacitors used for general electronics applications range from a few volts to 1 kV.
The rated voltage depends on the material and thickness of the dielectric, the spacing between the plates, and design factors like insulation margins. Manufacturers determine the voltage rating through accelerated aging tests to ensure the capacitor will operate reliably below specified voltages and temperatures.
