SUMMARY
To discharge an electric charge in a material surrounded by a dielectric without penetrating it, one must rely on the dielectric's electrical breakdown limit. When the electric field exceeds this limit, electrons can escape from the atoms of the dielectric, initiating a breakdown. This process is crucial for understanding how to manage electric charges in non-conductive materials effectively.
