6. A method, comprising:
charging a capacitor including two or more plates with a charge electric field in a first direction;
providing an induced electric field in the capacitor in a second direction with at least a component opposite the first direction;
at least partially offsetting the charge electric field with the induced electric field to increase the amount of charge stored before breakdown.
