A typical microwave oven has a power consumption of about 1200 W. Estimate how long it should take to boil a cup of water in the microwave, assuming that 50 percent of the electrical power consumption goes into heating the water. How does this estimate correspond to everyday experience? (Assume that the water is initially at 30°C and that the cup contains 218 g of water.)
