A 200 Watt power of 30 MHz frequency is used to heat a resin piece of area 150 cm^2 and thickness 2 cm by dielectric heating. This piece of resin has a permittivity of 5 and a power factor of 0.05. So calculate the voltage and current required for this process. If the voltage is to be controlled at 600 V in this process, how much frequency supply has to be used?
