Patient’s tissues are used as DIELECTRIC between the conducting electrodes
Oscillation and rotation of the molecules of the tissues produces heat
Either flexible metal plates (malleable) or rigid metal discs can be used as electrodes

Some studies argue that inductive diathermy produces greater increase in temperature of deeper tissues compared to condenser/capacitive technique
Any deep effects following capacitive technique requires considerable increase in superficial tissue temperature
