Which dielectric outcome occurs when a material's resonant frequency matches a passing electromagnetic wave's frequency?

💡 Explanation

Power dissipation increases sharply due to dielectric losses from resonant absorption; the **resonance** mechanism causes maximum energy transfer. Therefore, power loss increases rather than plateauing, because charge oscillates in alignment with the field.
