Methods, systems, and apparatuses for managing temperatures induced by alternating fields

A method comprising:

• causing cyclical application of a first electric field via a first transducer array in a first direction and a second electric field via a second transducer array in a second direction, opposite the first direction, wherein the first transducer array comprises a first plurality of electrodes and the second transducer array comprises a second plurality of electrodes;
• and
• during the cyclical application,
• deactivating, based on a temperature associated with one or more electrodes of the first plurality of electrodes or one or more electrodes of the second plurality of electrodes satisfying a threshold, the one or more electrodes of the first plurality of electrodes or the one or more electrodes of the second plurality of electrodes,
• activating, based on a temperature associated with the deactivated one or more electrodes of the first plurality of electrodes or the deactivated one or more electrodes of the second plurality of electrodes no longer satisfying the threshold, the deactivated one or more electrodes of the first plurality of electrodes or the deactivated one or more electrodes of the second plurality of electrodes.
