An 800-kHz radio signal is detected at a point 2.7 km distant from a transmitter tower. The electric field amplitude of the sign

al at that point is 0.36 V/m. Assume that the signal power is radiated uniformly in all directions and that radio waves incident upon the ground are completely absorbed. What is the intensity of the radio signal at that point?
a. 240 µW/m^2
b. 340 µW/m^2
c. 86 µW/m^2
d. 170 µW/m^2
e. 120 µW/m^2

Answer:

Option D is correct: 170 µW/m²

Explanation:

Given that,

Frequency f = 800kHz

Distance d = 2.7km = 2700m

Electric field Eo = 0.36V/m

Intensity of radio signal

The intensity of radial signal is given as

I = c•εo•Eo²/2

Where c is speed of light

c = 3×10^8m/s

εo = 8.85 × 10^-12 C²/Nm²

I = 3×10^8 × 8.85×10^-12 × 0.36²/2

I = 1.72 × 10^-4W/m²

I = 172 × 10^-6 W/m²

I = 172 µW/m²

Then, the intensity of the radio wave at that point is approximately 170 µW/m²

A charged particle enters a uniform magnetic field B_vec with a velocity v_vec at right angles to the field.It moves in a circle
Finger [1]

Answer:

D. 10 T

Explanation:

When a particle is moving in a magnetic field, the magnetic force provides the centripetal force that keeps the particle in circular motion.

The cyclotron period (the period the particle takes to complete one orbit) can be found to be

T=\frac{2\pi m}{qB}

where

m is the mass of the particle

q is its charge

B is the magnetic field

As we see, the period is directly proportional to the mass of the particle.

In this problem, the second particle is ten times as massive as the first one:

m' = 10 m

while the speed is the same. So, the period of the second particle is

T'=\frac{2\pi m'}{qB}=\frac{2\pi (10m)}{qB}=10 \frac{2\pi m}{qB}=10 T

When two or more identical capacitors are connected in series across a potential difference?
OlgaM077 [116]
<span>When two or more identical capacitors (or resistors) are connected
in series across a potential difference, the potential difference divides
equally among them.

For example, if you have nine identical capacitors (or resistors) all
connected end-to-end like elephants in a circus parade, and you
connect the string to a source of 117 volts (either AC or DC), then
you will measure

(117v / 9)  =  13 volts

across each unit in the string.</span>
