Which outcome occurs when metallic iron nanoparticles agglomerate in a microwave?

💡 Explanation

Localized superheating occurs because **dipolar polarization** of the nanoparticles causes rapid re-orientation with the oscillating electric field. This generates intense heat at contact points and plasma locally, rather than a smooth distribution, therefore plasma formation is expected, rather than uniform heating.
