Dielectric Heating Theory

Dielectric heating is a method of heating non-metallic materials using electromagnetic fields. When an electric field is applied to a dielectric material (like plastics or ceramics), polar molecules within the material try to align with the changing field. This constant reorientation causes molecular friction, generating heat. Essentially, the energy from the electromagnetic waves is converted into thermal energy inside the material, allowing it to be heated evenly and rapidly without direct contact or traditional heating methods.
