This depends greatly on the microwave and the position of the water inside it as well as the container that it is in. Many microwaves have "hot spots" where the microwaves are concentrated. Some microwaves have a turntable to try to reduce the hot spots.

Generally, water should boil in about 2 minutes in a ceramic or glass container.
