Please quote your online reference please regarding ferrite cores being 
a dielectric

If so then my not just use un-enammeled wire on a course wound core ? A 
dielectric is an insulator ;

A*dielectric*(or*dielectric material*) is anelectrical insulator 
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulator_(electricity)>

I don't see any reference to ferrite cores being a dielectric online.

The molecular alignment heating method regarding dielectric loss, is not 
mentioned on any ferrite core RF heating science, that I can find.

Please read ;

"Core Losses Core losses are a significant contributor to the 
temperature rise of a transformer. Hysteresis loss, eddy *current* loss 
and residual loss all contribute to the total core loss. At high flux 
densities and relatively low frequencies, hysteresis losses are usually 
dominant. Hysteresis loss is the amount the magnetization of the ferrite 
material lags the magnetizing force because of molecular friction. The 
loss of energy due to hysteresis loss is proportional to the area of the 
static or low frequency B-H loop. At high frequencies, eddy current 
losses usually dominate. Eddy *current* loss is from a varying induction 
that produces electromotive forces, which cause a current to circulate 
within a magnetic material. These eddy *currents* result in energy loss. 
Understanding the behaviour of the combined total core loss as functions 
of flux density and of frequency is most important. "


Dielectric is not mentioned.
