Typically on the interior of the door or the rear of the microwave
To determine the wattage of a microwave, look for a label or sticker on the back or inside the microwave's door. The wattage is usually mentioned in terms of "W" or "Watts" and may range from 600W to 1500W or more.
"Microwave" is an electromagnetic wave, and is part of the category of radio waves.A radio wave is "microwave" when its frequency is above 3 GHz (wavelength isless than 10 centimeters).Ironically, the "microwave oven" radiates the food with high power radio wavesat a frequency of 2.5 GHz, so technically, it doesn't use 'microwave' energy at all.
Microwaves are part of the electromagnetic spectrum and are transverse waves in that the displacement is perpendicular to the direction of travel.
The existence of radio waves (of which microwaves are a part) was predicted by James Clerk Maxwell in 1864 from his equations. They were then proved to exist experimentally.
In a microwave oven, we find that microwave energy (from the microwave portion of the electromagnetic spectrum) are used. In a conventional oven, gas or electricity is used to create infrared heat, so we find infrared radiation (from the infrared portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, which is just below the visible light or optical portion) used there. If the oven happens to be a combination microwave and conventional, we'll find both types of electromagnetic waves generated for use inside.
A microwave is near the "red" side of the electromagnetic scale. All electromagnetic travels at the same rate. Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation which travels through a vacuum (space). Thereofore, being a part of electormagnetic radiation, microwaves will travel through a vacuum.
It's a microwave transmitter...literally. They usually run from about 100 watts and the one's we used would do as much as 2,000 watts, if needed. I've no doubt that there are more powerful units out there but these seemed to work OK here in the Midwest for the most part.
As watts equals volts times amps (ohms law simplified) you are missing part of the equation.. Let's say you are asking about how many watts is 1 amps at 12v then... If W = V x A then 1A at 12v = 12 watts
this is radiation in the microwave part of the electromagnetic spectrum which comes from all directions in outer space

For the most part, they cost about the same. For instance, if you look up a 120V, 2hp electric motor in a catalog, you will find it draws about 18A. 120V * 18A = 2160 watts. If you look up a 240V, 2hp motor, it will draw about 9A. 240V * 9A = 2160 watts. Watts are watts. Watts are what you pay for. It takes a certain amount of power to perform a particular task, irregardless of the voltage supply. You typically see larger loads, such as a dryer, range or AC unit fed from 240V. This is because the lower current draw permits you to run smaller wire, which is less expensive to install.
Read your power listing on the Dell; it could be on the back of the computer, or many times it is on the 'wart' part of your power chord (also can be on the manual). that will tell you how many watts pull you have. The Schumacher does 410 watts continuous, and 800 peak (not reading the manual, but just looking 'as advertised,' though you could look deeper into that) and the watts pull on your dell would need to be below the 410 continuous (which I am sure it is). The 'startup' sometimes could be two to three times the continuous 'watts pulled' by your dell. You should be fine with this inverter, but read the manual of the car you are using because usually they tell you how many watts draw is the maximum on the system off of your cigarette lighters. My max on my car is 160 watts. If your dell is above the watts max off your car system, you can consider 'hardwiring' it straight to your battery with a 'inverter cable kit' that has 10 ft inverter cables with 4 gauge wire to permanently install your inverter in your car.
Microwave ovens have a "part" or device inside them called a magnetron. The magnetron is a microwave generator, and when we energize it, it generates electromagnetic waves at fairly high power (several hundred watts) and at a microwave frequency (about 2450 megaHertz). The non-ionizing electromagnetic waves or rays generated by the magnetron cause the bonds between hydrogen and oxygen atoms in water molecules to "vibrate" sympathetically with the microwave radiation. The result is that the water molecule is "given energy" by the microwave, and this energy is expressed as "vibration" of the water molecule. It is thermal, or heat energy, and the oven heats/cooks food by heating the water in the food using microwave electromagnetic energy. As stated, this radiation is non-ionizing radiation, and it will not "harm" the food, per se. Normally heated or cooked food that is put thorugh a microwave oven is safe to eat. You will not suffer any ill effects because of something the microwave oven did to the food item(s). Note that the oven can burn food, and burnt food has some toxins in it.
To answer this you have to know how many volts will be used. If you know the voltage then you can calculate the current by dividing voltage into wattage. For example; an electric heater rated at 700 watts when plugged into a 115 v outlet will draw 700/115 = 6.08 amps of current.

Micro waves heat by vibrating the conductive molecules in items. Pure water (which has no impurities) does Not boil in a microwave oven. It does get extremely hot! Be care and use the recommended time for that your microwave states for water.
