How Does Magnetron Power Influence Microwave Frequency and Amplitude?

AI Thread Summary
The power of a magnetron directly influences the number of microwaves produced, with increased power resulting in a higher rate of wave generation. This relationship is tied to the intensity of the microwaves, which can be analyzed using Poynting's vector to understand energy flux. Additionally, the amplitude of the electric field generated by the microwaves is affected by both frequency and power levels. Adjusting the magnetron's power can modify the amplitude, as higher power typically leads to greater electric field strength. Overall, the interplay between power, frequency, and amplitude is crucial for understanding magnetron performance.

How does microwave produced by magnetron relate to the power?

For e.g., magnetron produces 3000 MHz microwave and power of the
magnetron is 100 megawatt, how is this calculated (what is the relationship
b/w frequency and power?)

If the power (MW) of the magnetron is increased/or decreased, does that mean
simply more/less # of microwaves are produced?

Also, How does the amplitude of the electric field produced by the microwave
relate to the frequency and power? How can that amplitude be changed
by the magnetron?


Thank you.

from what i can tell an increase in the input power leads to a higher rate of wave creation, and by using poyntings vector along with the amount of these waves created (like intensity) you get an idea of the energy flux and how that changes with the amount of wave creators (electrons).
 
Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'
So here is the motional EMF formula. Now I understand the standard Faraday paradox that an axis symmetric field source (like a speaker motor ring magnet) has a magnetic field that is frame invariant under rotation around axis of symmetry. The field is static whether you rotate the magnet or not. So far so good. What puzzles me is this , there is a term average magnetic flux or "azimuthal mean" , this term describes the average magnetic field through the area swept by the rotating Faraday...
