Dielectric loss refers to the energy dissipation in an insulating material when it is subjected to an alternating electric field. This energy loss is primarily due to the lagging of polarization behind the electric field in non-conductive (dielectric) materials. It is quantified by the dielectric loss tangent or loss factor, which measures the inefficiency of an electrical insulator as an energy storage medium.
a
Explanation: In the scenario of an AC field, the absorption of electrical energy by a
dielectric material is called as dielectric loss. This will result in dissipation of energy in
the form of heat.
