Explanation:

The primary property of a dielectric material that makes it suitable for dielectric heating is: Ability to be polarized by an applied electric field

  • Dielectric heating relies on the ability of a dielectric material to be polarized in the presence of an alternating electric field.
  • As the dielectric is subjected to the alternating field, its molecules align with the field, leading to rapid changes in polarity and generating heat.
  • This heating mechanism is used in various applications, including microwave ovens, where dielectric materials efficiently absorb electromagnetic energy and convert it into heat.
