← ScienceWhich consequence occurs in a microwave oven when the rotating plate stops?
A)Localized overheating of food occurs✓
B)Arcing within the magnetron increases
C)Waveguide impedance matching improves
D)Decreased capacitive energy dissipation result
💡 Explanation
If the rotating plate stops, **standing wave** formation results in uneven microwave distribution because of hotspots and null points. Therefore, some areas of food overheat while others remain cold, rather than even cooking achieved with consistent plate rotation.
