Microwave oven EM wave amplitude

[anorred]

I don't really know how to quantify EM waves when it comes to amplitude, but I understand that MRI rf waves are measured in units of tesla. What is the amplitude of a typical microwave oven EM wave in Tesla (mT, uT)??

Tesla is the measurement of a magnetic field strength ( more precisely, magnetic flux density)

Whereas a RF transmitter like a microwave oven ( or any other transmitter), it would normally be the electric field
strength that is measured and that is usually in dBuV/m

Others may expand on that :)
