An AM radio station broadcasts isotropically (equally in all directions) with an average power of 3.80 kW. A receiving antenna 75.0 cm long is at a location 4.00 mi from the transmitter. Compute the amplitude of the emf that is induced by this signal between the ends of the receiving antenna.

Respuesta :

Answer:0.1759 v

Explanation:

Intensity of wave at receiver end is

I=[tex]\frac{P_{avg}}{A}[/tex]

I=[tex]\frac{3.80\times 10^3}{4\times \pi \times \left ( 4\times 1609.34\right )^2}[/tex]

I=[tex]7.296\times 10^{-6} W/m^2[/tex]

Amplitude of electric field at receiver end

[tex]E_{max}=\sqrt{2I\mu _0c}[/tex]

Amplitude of induced emf

=[tex]E_{max}d[/tex]

=[tex]\sqrt{2\times 7.29\times 10-6\times 4\pi \times 3\times 10^8}\times 0.75[/tex]

=[tex]17.591\times 10^{-2}=0.1759 v[/tex]
