Describe dielectric losses.
What will be an ideal response?
As the impressed voltage rises to a maximum value twice in each cycle, a voltage stress is placed on the insulation of the conductor. Such a stress occurs first in one direction and then in the other. As a result, there is a small heat loss in the insulation. This loss is called the dielectric loss and is very small when compared to the other losses in the circuit due to the skin effect, eddy currents, and hysteresis. Usually the dielectric loss can be neglected.
