Best Answer

Inside a microwave oven,microwaves are made when electricity passes through a device called

Magnetron.Magnetron uses a strong magnet. The electricity and the magnet make microwave electromagnetic.

Household microwaves contain permanent magnets, but I see no reason why an electromagnet would not work.

Microwaves in a microwave oven are produced by electrons circling in a magnetic field at a frequency of 2.4GHz. what is the magnetic field strength?

A cavity magnetron is used to produce microwaves in a microwave oven. (See related inks.)Though this involves a magnetic field and an oscillating electron beam, the electrons are not moving in a circle at the cyclotron resonance and this is not the basic mode of operation.

Why does a microwave have a magnetic?

i am not as sure to what a magnetic means but i do know a microwave has a magnetron and the way it heats food is by putting out microwaves that make the water molecules vibrate which warms the item because more moving molecules in an object means heat which makes the food hot

How do microwaves give off radiation?

Microwaves do not 'give off' radiation as such. Microwaves are radiation.


What are the sources of microwave?

The main sources of microwaves are electronic devices called magnetrons or solid-state devices like klystrons or traveling wave tubes. These devices generate microwaves through the oscillation of electrons in a magnetic or electric field. Microwaves are also naturally produced by astronomical sources such as the Sun and other celestial bodies.

Do magnetic fields affect X Rays?

Fixed magnetic fields, such as the field around a piece of magnetic metal or around a planet such as the earth have no effect on what is called "electromagnetic" or "wave" radiation, which includes, radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible, and ultraviolet light, x-rays, and gamma rays (named in order of increasing energy and frequency.)
