Which risk increases when nonuniform microwave fields concentrate inside a domestic microwave oven?

💡 Explanation

When microwave fields become nonuniform, hotspots form via constructive interference because standing waves appear, leading to localized overheating. Therefore, it increases the risk of localized thermal runaway in food, rather than arcing, magnetron failure, or cage breach which require entirely different processes.
