“is subject to" vs "is subjected to"?
It seems both forms are possible and have similar meanings, so I am really confused when I should use the one or another.
For example, in sentence "Artificially produced products are subject/subjected to natural wear and tear", which one is correct and why?

Before I hear about the job, I'll be subjected to the awful feeling of not being sure if the job is mine or not.
Subject to = conditionally
