Best Answer

When you regulate the button which determines the power, the highest degreee means that the magnetron works all the time and lower degrees mean that it works for a certain amount of time and rests for another in series. For instance, if you set it to 1 minute to high power, the magnetron will work for 1 minute and therefore the humid molecules will tremble for 1 minute, if you set it to medium power, the molecules will be heated for 20 seconds, then will rest for 10 seconds, then be heated for another 20 seconds and rest for another 10.
