An AM radio station broadcasts isotropically (equally in all directions) with an average power of 3.40 kW. A receiving antenna 6
lara [203]

To solve the problem we will apply the concepts related to the Intensity as a function of the power and the area, as well as the electric field as a function of the current, the speed of light and the permeability in free space, as shown below.

The intensity of the wave at the receiver is

I = \frac{P_{avg}}{A}

I = \frac{P_{avg}}{4\pi r^2}

I = \frac{3.4*10^3}{4\pi(4*1609.34)^2} \rightarrow 1mile = 1609.3m

I = 6.529*10^{-6}W/m^2

The amplitude of electric field at the receiver is

I = \frac{E_{max}^2}{2\mu_0 c}

E_{max}= \sqrt{2I\mu_0 c}

The amplitude of induced emf by this signal between the ends of the receiving antenna is

\epsilon_{max} = E_{max} d

\epsilon_{max} = \sqrt{2I \mu_0 cd}

Here,

I = Current

\mu_0 = Permeability at free space

c = Light speed

d = Distance

Replacing,

\epsilon_{max} = \sqrt{2(6.529*10^{-6})(4\pi*10^{-7})(3*10^{8})(60.0*10^{-2})}

\epsilon_{max} = 0.05434V

Thus, the amplitude of induced emf by this signal between the ends of the receiving antenna is 0.0543V

Diferencia entre transferencia y transformación de energía. Da ejemplos de cada caso.
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

La transformación de energía es un proceso en el que la energía se intercambia entre un sistema y el medio ambiente en al menos dos formas de energía diferentes entre sí. Por ejemplo, un panel solar convierte la energía lumínica en energía eléctrica.

En cambio, en la transferencia de energía, esta no cambia su forma sino que es transmitida de un cuerpo a otro. El ejemplo más claro es el de la fogata, que transmite calor al medio ambiente a través de radiación.
