This document discusses the cooking mechanism in microwave ovens. It begins by explaining what microwave radiation is and how it is used to cook food by causing water molecules in the food to vibrate, generating heat. It then discusses the history and development of microwave ovens, how they work, and the key components involved like the magnetron. It also covers safety considerations regarding microwave radiation exposure and standards.
Microwaves are a form of electromagnetic radiation used in communications and cooking. Microwave ovens work by using a magnetron to generate microwaves around 2.45 GHz, which are transmitted into the oven cavity and absorbed by water molecules in food, causing them to heat up rapidly. The first microwave oven was invented accidentally in 1947 when a researcher discovered that microwaves could cook food quickly. Modern microwave ovens have safety mechanisms to prevent exposure to high levels of microwaves.
Microwave ovens heat food using 2.5 gigahertz radio waves, which are absorbed by water, fats and sugars in food and converted directly into heat. The microwaves pass through materials like glass and plastic but are reflected by metals. A microwave oven works by generating these radio waves that are absorbed by the food, causing its water and fat molecules to vibrate rapidly and generate heat while leaving other containers unaffected.
Microwave ovens work by using electromagnetic waves in the microwave frequency range to heat up water molecules in food. The magnetron generates microwaves that cause the polar water molecules in food to rapidly flip back and forth billions of times per second, generating friction and heat. This heat transfer then cooks the surrounding food molecules. Turntables are used to ensure even cooking as microwaves form standing waves within the oven cavity. Metals are not used for containers as microwaves reflect perfectly off metal surfaces.
Microwave ovens work by emitting microwave radiation that causes water and fat molecules in food to rotate rapidly, generating heat through molecular friction. Percy Spencer discovered this effect accidentally in the 1940s while developing radar technology. Microwaves efficiently heat food from the inside out by exciting the polar molecules. However, long term effects of microwave radiation exposure are still being studied, as some research has linked microwaves to increased cancer risk and nutritional losses in cooked food.
Percy Spencer invented the microwave oven in 1947 based on radar technology developed during World War II. The first microwave oven, called the Radarange, was large and expensive, selling for around $5000 each. Later home microwave ovens were introduced in the 1950s but were also still too large and expensive for general use. The countertop microwave oven that was smaller and more affordable was first introduced in 1967. Microwave ovens work by emitting microwave radiation that causes polarized molecules in food to rotate and generate heat through dielectric heating. They are popular for quickly reheating and cooking foods.
Microwave ovens work by using electromagnetic waves similar to radio waves but with a shorter wavelength and higher frequency of 2.45 GHz. These microwaves are generated by a magnetron and delivered into the oven cavity, causing water and fat molecules in food to rapidly vibrate and generate heat through molecular friction. The microwaves are absorbed by polar molecules in foods and liquids, quickly heating and cooking the interior while leaving outer surfaces less heated. Potential health risks from microwave exposure are considered low when used properly according to safety guidelines.
Microwave ovens work by using electromagnetic waves to heat up water molecules in food. A device called a magnetron generates microwaves at 2.45 GHz, which cause the water molecules in food to vibrate, generating heat. The microwaves are reflected inside the oven and cause uniform heating. While microwaves are a form of non-ionizing radiation and do not damage DNA, exposure should be limited as high amounts can cause thermal damage to sensitive organs. Safety standards limit leakage to safe levels and proper maintenance is important for safe operation.

The document summarizes the operating principles of microwave ovens. It explains that microwaves are radio waves, typically around 2.5 GHz, that are absorbed by water, fats, and sugars, causing them to heat up from the inside out. Metals reflect microwaves instead of absorbing them. Microwave ovens heat food quickly by exciting water molecules at their resonant frequency. While convenient, microwave ovens cannot brown or crisp food due to lack of conductive heating. The document outlines advantages like speed, disadvantages like inability to toast, and safety tips for using microwave ovens.
Microwaves are a form of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths between one millimeter and one meter that can pass through non-metal materials. They are absorbed by materials with high water content, causing the water molecules to vibrate and produce heat. Microwave ovens use magnetrons to generate microwaves that are reflected within the oven chamber, cooking food through microwave absorption. While microwaves do not make food radioactive, high levels could cause burns or injuries to body tissue if safety standards are not followed.
Microwave devices can be classified into relays and coaxial switches which operate at high frequencies. Microwave ovens use radio waves at a specific frequency to agitate water molecules in food, generating heat that cooks the food from the inside out more quickly than conventional ovens. Microwave devices come in different sizes from compact to full-size models with varying capacities. While microwave transmission has advantages like wide bandwidth, it also has disadvantages such as signal disruption from obstacles and atmospheric absorption that can attenuate signals. Microwave frequencies are used for medical diagnostic and therapeutic applications as well as communication and other technologies.
There are two main mechanisms by which microwaves generate heat in food - dipolar interaction and ionic interaction. Dipolar interaction involves the rotation of polar molecules like water according to the electromagnetic field, generating heat through molecular friction. Ionic interaction involves the acceleration of ions by the field, causing them to collide with other molecules. A microwave oven works by using a magnetron to generate microwaves at 2450MHz, which are directed into the cooking cavity and absorbed by food molecules to generate heat volumetrically. Factors like food composition, size, and shape can affect the heating rate. While microwaves provide a convenient cooking method, precautions are taken to ensure safety.
Microwaves have a frequency between 300 MHz to 300 GHz and a wavelength between 1 mm to 1 m. They are able to heat foods quickly in microwave ovens through dielectric heating where microwave radiation is absorbed by polar molecules in food. James Clerk Maxwell's work on electromagnetism was crucial to the development of microwaves and technologies like wireless communication and radar that utilize them. Microwave ovens contain a magnetron that emits microwaves which are reflected within the oven and absorbed by food molecules, causing them to heat up.

Microwave ovens and heat lamps both use electromagnetic waves to heat substances but through different mechanisms. Microwave ovens use microwaves to heat water molecules in a substance through rotation, creating friction and heat. Heat lamps use infrared waves to heat the air and substance by emitting heat from their bulbs. Both heat substances but through different types of electromagnetic waves and heating processes.
Microwave ovens were invented in 1946 by Dr. Percy Spencer. They work by emitting microwave radiation at a frequency of 2.45GHz to heat up food through dielectric heating. Microwave ovens are commonly used to quickly heat or reheat cooked foods and are made up of basic components including a magnetron that generates microwaves and a cavity to distribute the waves. However, microwaves may decrease the nutritive value of foods and some studies have linked their use to cancer risks.
The document discusses how microwaves work in microwave ovens. A magnetron located inside the microwave emits microwaves between 300 MHz to 300 GHz in wavelength. These microwaves spread and are reflected by the metal walls of the oven and absorbed by water molecules in food. The microwave energy causes the water molecules to vibrate faster through friction, generating heat used to cook food in a short time.
1. Microwave ovens work by using electromagnetic waves called microwaves that are generated by a device called a magnetron. The microwaves are able to pass through food and cause water molecules to vibrate, generating heat rapidly.
2. There are three main types of microwave ovens - solo, grill, and convection. Solo microwaves only use microwaves to heat while grill and convection models include additional heating elements. Convection microwaves are the most advanced.
3. Microwave ovens provide benefits like saving time and energy compared to conventional cooking. However, potential health hazards include the possibility of burns from high microwave exposure and the conversion of some vitamins to inactive forms.
A microwave oven, is a kitchen appliance that can come in many different sizes and styles employing microwave radiation primarily to cook or heat food. This is accomplished by using microwaves, almost always emitted from a magnetron, to excite water (primarily) and other polarized molecules within the food to be heated. This excitation is fairly uniform, leading to food being heated everywhere all at once
Microwave radiation has wavelengths between 1 meter and 1 millimeter and frequencies between 0.3 GHz and 300 GHz. Microwaves travel in a straight line and can pass through materials like plastic and glass but are reflected by metal. Microwaves are absorbed by materials with high water content and produce heat, which is how microwave ovens cook food. A microwave oven uses a high voltage transformer and magnetron to convert electricity into microwave radiation that is reflected inside the chamber. The microwaves cause water molecules in food to vibrate and produce heat for cooking. Microwave radiation does not make food radioactive and requires high levels to potentially cause injuries to body tissue.
Microwaves are electromagnetic waves with wavelengths between 1 mm and 1 m, or frequencies between 300 MHz and 300 GHz. James Clerk Maxwell first theorized electromagnetic waves in 1864 and proved that light is a form of electromagnetic radiation. Later, others like Heinrich Hertz and Albert Walace Hull helped develop microwave technology. Microwaves are used for applications like GPS, radar, and microwave ovens. Microwave ovens use a magnetron to generate microwaves that are guided into a food chamber using a waveguide and stirred using a turntable.
The microwave oven uses microwaves that have a frequency of around 2,500 MHz to cook food from the inside out. Microwaves are absorbed by water and oil in food, causing their molecules to shake and generate heat. A magnetron produces the microwaves when powered by high voltage DC from a transformer, which increases the voltage. A fan spreads the microwaves within the chamber where the food is heated, while a time controller regulates the cooking duration.

This document summarizes the key components and working principles of refrigerators and microwave ovens. It discusses that refrigerators use a compressor, condenser, evaporator and throttling device to move heat from inside to outside by continuously circulating a refrigerant. Microwave ovens use magnetrons to generate microwaves that vibrate water molecules in food to quickly heat and cook it. Both appliances provide advantages of fast and efficient cooking but also have disadvantages like high electricity use or inability to cook some foods.
A microwave range hood is a kitchen appliance that combines a microwave oven and range hood into a single unit to save space. It allows the microwave to be installed above the cooktop instead of taking up counter space. Microwaves work by using electromagnetic waves to vibrate water molecules in food, generating heat. Key components include the magnetron which generates the microwaves, waveguide which directs them, and the cooking cavity which contains the microwaves for safe cooking. Microwave range hoods provide a space-saving option for kitchens with limited counter space.
This document discusses Nu Energy Technologies and radiant energy power generation. It begins with an introduction to atmospheric electricity and how radiant energy can be harnessed from the atmosphere in the form of electrical power. The document then discusses Thomas Henry Moray's pioneering radiant energy research in the early 20th century and how his work inspired further research into capturing energy from atmospheric ions. The majority of the document focuses on explaining Moray's circuit designs and early demonstrations, as well as the author's own recent radiant energy research and theories on ion valve technology that could be used to develop radiant energy generators.
Microwaves cook food by causing water and fat molecules to vibrate through electromagnetic waves, generating heat. Round containers cook more evenly than square ones because microwaves can enter the food from all sides instead of bouncing off corners. Cooking time increases with the amount of food. Stirring, rotating, and covering food promotes even cooking. Microwaves do not brown or crisp foods since they lack dry heat. Safety precautions include using potholders and directing steam away from the body when removing hot containers.
Technetium-99m is commonly used in nuclear medicine as it emits gamma rays that can be detected externally. It has a short half-life of around 6 hours, so the radiation leaves the body quickly without accumulating. Technetium-99m is produced synthetically by bombarding molybdenum-98 with neutrons in nuclear reactors. It is used as a radioactive tracer in over 80% of nuclear medicine procedures worldwide due to its ideal properties of being a pure gamma emitter and having a short half-life.
Electricity is generated through electromechanical generators that convert non-electrical energy, like water, coal, natural gas, into electricity. Benjamin Franklin's kite experiment in 1752 demonstrated electricity in nature. Modern electricity generation relies mainly on coal, nuclear, natural gas, hydroelectric, and petroleum power plants. Microwaves are a form of electromagnetic waves used to heat food through water molecules, discovered in the 1940s by Percy Spencer during his radar research. Microwave ovens use magnetrons to generate microwaves through interactions between electric and magnetic fields that heat food through molecular friction.
Magnetism and electromagnetism are properties that allow certain materials to interact with magnetic fields. Magnetism arises from the spin of electrons within atoms. Electromagnetism is the study of the interaction between electric charges and magnetic fields. Magnets can attract or repel other magnetic materials and have distinct north and south poles. Various scientists like Oersted, Gilbert, Ampere, and Faraday contributed important discoveries about electromagnetism through experiments.

This document discusses electromagnetic waves. It begins by explaining that electromagnetic waves are formed by vibrating electric charges and can transfer energy through space without needing matter. It then describes how oscillating electric fields create magnetic fields and vice versa, producing transverse electromagnetic waves that travel in all directions. The document outlines several key properties of electromagnetic waves, including their speed, wavelength, frequency, and position in the electromagnetic spectrum. It provides examples of different types of electromagnetic waves like microwaves, infrared waves, and ultraviolet waves, describing their characteristics and some applications.
Electricity is generated through various processes that convert other forms of energy into electrical energy. Historically, ancient Greeks discovered static electricity and Ben Franklin experimented with electricity using a kite. Modern generation uses processes like Faraday's law of induction. Common methods include burning fossil fuels in power plants to heat water and power steam turbines, using nuclear fission in nuclear plants, and harnessing the kinetic energy of moving water in hydroelectric dams. Renewable sources also generate electricity through technologies that convert wind, solar, tidal, and geothermal energy. Electricity is transmitted through power lines using alternating current of a standard frequency.
Various sources are used to provide electricity to power homes and devices. Hydroelectric power plants use the kinetic energy of falling water to turn turbines which rotate generators, producing electrical current. Other power sources like fossil fuels, nuclear reactions, wind and tides also use generators, converting the energy of motion into electrical energy. Generators have electromagnets surrounded by coils of wire, and their rotation produces the flow of electrons that becomes electricity. Electricity travels through power lines to homes where it powers various appliances and devices. The amount of electrical energy used can be calculated using the power rating and running time of devices.
Electromagnetism is one of the fundamental forces in nature and results from the interaction between electricity and magnetism. Originally considered separate forces, experiments by Hans Christian Ørsted and discoveries by James Clerk Maxwell unified electricity and magnetism. Ørsted observed that electric currents could produce magnetic fields, representing a direct relationship between electricity and magnetism. Maxwell's 1873 treatise further developed this relationship and established electromagnetism as a single force. Today, electromagnetism has many applications in technologies like electric motors, generators, and transformers.
Electrical basic engineering by Ramesh meti karanatakaRamesh Meti
Electricity was first discovered in 600 BC but scientific understanding began in the 18th century. Key discoveries included friction electricity by Thales in 600 BC, the word "electricity" coined in 1600, and the first chemical battery invented by Volta in 1800. Thomas Edison helped bring electricity to homes in New York in 1882, but most homes did not have power until 1925. Edison also invented the incandescent light bulb in 1879. Electricity starts at power plants, is transmitted through high voltage lines and substations, distributed through lower voltage lines, and finally enters homes through service drops. Proper safety precautions must be taken when working with electricity to avoid shock and fire.
Electricity is produced through the movement of electrons in conductors like wires. At power stations, coal, gas, or uranium are burned to power generators, which use magnetism and movement to induce electric current in coils. This alternating current is then distributed through the electric grid to homes and businesses. While electric cars may help reduce emissions, producing the electricity to charge them still relies heavily on burning fossil fuels in many places.
Microwaves are electromagnetic waves with wavelengths between 1 mm and 1 m that are used for heating. Microwave ovens generate microwaves at a frequency of 2.45 GHz to heat food through rotation and ionic conduction, causing more efficient heating than conventional methods. The key components of a microwave oven are the magnetron which generates microwaves, the waveguide which directs the waves, and the cooking cavity where food is placed. Microwaves are also used for industrial applications like pasteurization, sterilization, drying and heating materials.

The History of Oersted's Discovery of Ohm's Law, Joule Heating, the 1st Law of Thermodynamics, the Work-Energy Principle and the Law of Creation of Energy
Most electricity in the US is produced using steam turbines in power plants. Coal is commonly burned to heat water and produce steam, which spins the turbine and generates electricity. This electricity is sent through transformers to increase the voltage for long distance transmission on power lines before being stepped down for local distribution and use in homes and businesses. Implementing a "smart grid" that uses sensors and two-way communication could help modernize the aging electrical infrastructure to reduce waste and better incorporate renewable energy sources.
An accelerator is a device that uses electric fields to impart kinetic energy to charged particles like electrons. Different types of accelerators exist like cyclotrons, synchrotrons, and linear accelerators (linacs). Linacs accelerate electrons using oscillating electric fields in a linear tube containing microwave cavities. Key components of a linac include an electron gun, klystron or magnetron to generate microwaves, an accelerating waveguide, and a target to produce x-rays when struck by electrons. Modern linacs are commonly used in radiation therapy to treat cancer patients.
Electromagnetic induction is the process of using magnetic fields to produce voltage and current in a complete circuit. Michael Faraday discovered that moving a conductive substance through a magnetic field creates electromagnetic induction. A changing magnetic field induces a current in a nearby wire. Microphones use this principle by vibrating a diaphragm with sound waves, moving a coil of wire in a magnetic field and inducing a current representing the sound. AC generators also use Faraday's law of induction to convert magnetic and electrical energy into rotational kinetic energy through a rotating coil in a magnetic field.
The document discusses electromagnetic waves and their properties. It explains that Maxwell concluded that changing electric fields can produce magnetic fields, and that electric and magnetic fields propagate as transverse waves called electromagnetic waves. These waves travel at the speed of light. Experiments by Hertz and Bose produced small frequency electromagnetic waves, while Marconi successfully transmitted EM waves over long distances. The document also outlines Maxwell's equations and provides information on the electromagnetic spectrum and applications of different electromagnetic waves.
This document provides information about electrostatics and related concepts:
- Electrostatics is the study of static electricity and involves the forces between electrically charged particles at rest. Thales of Miletus discovered static electricity by observing that rubbing amber with wool caused it to attract small particles.
- There are two types of electric charge: positive and negative. Electrons carry a negative charge while protons carry a positive charge. Materials become positively charged when electrons are removed and negatively charged when electrons are added.
- Coulomb's law describes the electric force between two charged particles. It states that the force is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
An electromagnet is a magnet that runs on electricity. Unlike a permanent magnet, the strength of an electromagnet can easily be changed by changing the amount of electric current that flows through it. ... An electromagnet works because an electric current produces a magnetic field. Electromagnetism is produced when an electrical current flows through a simple conductor such as a length of wire or cable, and as current passes along the whole of the conductor then a magnetic field is created along the whole of the conductor.
The document provides an overview of key concepts in electricity and magnetism including:
1) Positive and negative charge, Coulomb's law, and the forces between charged objects.
2) What charge is and that protons and electrons have equal but opposite charges.
3) Conductors, insulators, semiconductors, and their properties related to charge flow.
4) Electromagnets, magnetic fields generated by electric currents, and their applications.
5) Electromagnetic induction, transformers, alternating current, and direct current.

It begins by defining radio as the technology of signaling and communicating using radio waves, which are electromagnetic waves with frequencies between 30 Hz and 300 GHz. The course will cover electromagnetic waves, including how they are formed by vibrating electric charges, their properties as transverse waves that can travel through space, and how changing electric and magnetic fields produce electromagnetic waves. It will also cover modulation techniques, wireless channels, and the electromagnetic spectrum used in radio communication.
Electricity powers computers and allows them to process, store, and display digital information. Computers use electricity to power components like the CPU, graphic card, hard drives, and RAM. The CPU processes digital signals represented as strings of 1s and 0s. Hard drives store data using magnetic platters and read/write heads, while RAM temporarily stores running programs by changing the state of electric circuits. LCD monitors display colors by adjusting the voltage applied to liquid crystal pixels.
1) The document analyzes the optical properties of natural topaz crystals from Ukraine before and after exposure to fast neutron irradiation through various spectroscopy techniques.
2) IR, Raman, and UV-VIS spectroscopy showed that fast neutron irradiation reduced hydroxyl group intensities in topaz, increased certain absorption band intensities, and induced a blue color through the creation of electron and hole defects interacting with impurities.
3) The results suggest that the blue color in irradiated topaz is associated with oxygen defect centers interacting with aluminum ions and may be connected to impurities like chromium or transitions metals, while additional bands observed indicate lattice disorder from radiation damage.
This document discusses food irradiation as a method of food preservation. It outlines the safety and benefits of food irradiation, which include preventing foodborne illness without using chemicals. However, barriers to greater adoption include public association with radioactivity, added costs, and consumer acceptance issues. Overcoming resistance will require focusing on health benefits rather than innovation, positive labeling, and international cooperation to remove unofficial barriers. Overall, commercial use of irradiated food has been slowly increasing in recent decades without incident.
Radiotherapy can be used in combination with immunotherapy to help the body's immune system fight cancer. Radiation damages cancer cells, causing them to release proteins that allow white blood cells to target the cancer cells. Low doses of radiation activate receptors on cancer cells to release more proteins without suppressing the immune response. The combination approach utilizes irradiated cancer cells to increase the effectiveness of immunotherapy against primary and secondary cancers. However, very high radiation doses cause cancer cells to enter a wound healing state where they secrete chemicals that inhibit the immune attack.
The document summarizes a study on the soil-to-plant transfer factors of technetium-99 for various plants collected in the Chernobyl area. Samples from 27 plant species were collected and analyzed for Tc-99 concentration. The plants were separated into ferns, herbs, and trees. Analysis involved drying, milling, incineration to remove organic matter, and separation and measurement of Tc-99 and Ru-99 using column chromatography and ICP-MS. Transfer factors were calculated as the ratio of activity in plants to activity in soil. Low transfer factors observed implied Tc-99 had transformed to less available forms 8-9 years after the Chernobyl accident.
Effects of low-dose e-beam (student preso)Roppon Picha
The document studied the effects of low-dose, low-penetration electron beam irradiation on Escherichia coli O157:H7 levels and meat quality in beef. It found that treating beef carcass surface cuts with 1 kGy electron beam irradiation reduced E. coli levels by 2.6-2.9 log, eliminating detectable levels. Irradiation had little effect on sensory and quality attributes of flank steaks but did impact ground beef patties more, with higher treatment proportions ranking lower. However, differences may not significantly impact consumer purchase decisions. Overall, low-dose electron beam irradiation showed potential for reducing pathogens on beef surfaces with minimal meat quality impacts.
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

6. How electricity is generated??
Electricity generation - process of converting non-
electrical energy to electricity - mostly generated at a
power station by electromechanical generators.
Electricity has been generated at central stations since
1881.
The first power plants were run on water power or coal
Today we rely mainly on coal, nuclear, natural gas,
hydroelectric, and petroleum.
8. Lighting our homes and offices.
Keeping the food in our refrigerator
cold.
Enable us to used many electronic
devices such as computers, printers
and also MICROWAVES….
In our presentation we are going to mainly focus
on microwaves which is one of the main electronic
devices in our daily basis.
10. What is Microwave
(Microwave oven)?
A microwave oven is an appliance using
electromagnetic energy to heat and cook foods.
A microwave oven uses microwaves.
Microwaves are very short radio waves commonly
employed in radar and satellite communications.
Microwave ovens consume power at a rate of
650 - 1200 watts, which corresponds to a current
of
5.4 x10 amps at 120 volts AC.
To convert power to current, use the equation …
11. What is Microwave?
Microwaves - a form of electromagnetic waves
Electromagnetic waves - wavelike oscillations of
electric & magnetic fields.
These fields are perpendicular to each other and
continually oscillate between maximum positive
and maximum negative. Their frequencies
(wavelengths) are in the range from 300 MHz (λ =
1 m) up to 300 GHz (λ = 1 mm).
Following international conventions, microwave
ovens at home or in restaurants operate at
frequencies of about 2.45 GHz, i.e. λ = 12.23 cm.
13. How Do Microwaves Heat Food?
Microwave heating works by heating the water in
foods. The frequency used in microwave ovens
optimally heats water molecules. The microwave
energy is converted into heat energy of the
water molecules, which in turn heat the other
molecules in the food. That is why dry foods
such as rice and pasta will not cook in a
microwave unless they are in some water. The
process is like frictional heating. Microwave
energy converts to heat energy by causing the
molecules in food to increase the speed of their
random motions.
14. Generation of microwaves in
magnetrons
Most microwave ovens use magnetrons.
First invented in 1921 and strongly
improved around 1940, magnetrons
allow either continuous or pulsed
microwave generation with powers up to
megawatts and frequencies between 1
and 40 GHz. Efficiencies are around
80% and lifetimes about 5000 hours.
15. How the Magnetron Works??
The process begins when an electrical
current is sent to the cathode/filament.
The heat that results from the electrical
current causes an increase in molecular
activity, thereby emitting electrons into the
space between the cathode and anode.
This results in the electrons moving away
from the cathode and toward the anode, at
higher rates of speed as the temperature
rises and causes more molecular activity.
16. How the Magnetron Works??
The electrons follow the antenna toward
the anode. During this process, the
electrons encounter the magnetic field,
which detracts the electrons from their
destination.
The forces of the electric charge,
together with the magnetic field, cause
the electrons to travel in an ever-
expanding circular orbit until the electron
finally reaches the anode.
This circular motion of electrons is what
produces the microwaves of energy that
allows food to be rapidly heated within
the contained space of the microwave
oven.
