Re: [Microwave oven]

Not likely.  The leakage rate from the microwave oven, if there is any, is not
likely to produce heat away from the oven. Secondly, the lady would have felt
burns in her skin if the intensity were high.

Good morning,

I was asked a question by a neighbor who is a high school teacher.  A
colleague, put a D cell battery in her pocket before school.  It may have
been for the recycling bin.  She turned on the microwave oven and felt the
battery get hot.  Could the microwave oven cause the battery to get hot?

I suggested that the battery may have leaked or maybe even keys, or
something else, in her pocket created a short circuit.
