  "id": "MLC-T-IND-001016",
  "term": "Cavity magnetron",
  "field": "Industrial and trades",
  "definition": "A high-power vacuum tube that generates microwaves through the interaction of electrons with a magnetic field and resonant cavities. Electrons emitted from a central cathode are forced into circular paths by an external magnetic field, passing through resonant cavities that extract energy. This device is the primary component for generating microwaves in radar systems and microwave ovens.",
