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

0.0 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.

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

romanna [79]

Answer:

v = wavelength * frequency

frequency = 5200 m/s / .2 m = 26000 / sec

20,000 / sec is optimistic for the upper frequency of human hearing

So 26,000 is above the hearing range for human ears

a 5.0 kg ball is dropped from a 2.5 m high window. what is the velocity of the ball just before it hits the ground?
julsineya [31]

Answer:

Approximately 7.0\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}.

Assumption: the ball dropped with no initial velocity, and that the air resistance on this ball is negligible.

Explanation:

Assume the air resistance on the ball is negligible. Because of gravity, the ball should accelerate downwards at a constant g = 9.81 \; \rm m \cdot s^{-2} near the surface of the earth.

For an object that is accelerating constantly,

v^2 - u^2 = 2\, a \, x,

where

  • u is the initial velocity of the object,
  • v is the final velocity of the object.
  • a is its acceleration, and
  • x is its displacement.

In this case, x is the same as the change in the ball's height: x = 2.5\; \rm m. By assumption, this ball was dropped with no initial velocity. As a result, u = 0. Since the ball is accelerating due to gravity, a = 9.81\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}.

v^2 - u^2 = 2\, g \cdot h.

In this case, v would be the velocity of the ball just before it hits the ground. Solve for

v^2 = 2\, a\, x + u^2.

\begin{aligned}v &= \sqrt{2\, a\, x + u^2} \\ &= \sqrt{2\times 9.81 \times 2.5 + 0} \\ &\approx 7.0\; \rm m\cdot s^{-1}\end{aligned}.

ad-work [718]

Answer:

Current will be 81.7 mA

Which is not given in bellow option

Explanation:

We have given  capacitance C=4.8mF=4.8\times 10^{-3}F

Resistance R = 500 ohm

Voltage V = 12 volt

We know that time constant of RC circuit of RC circuit is given by

\tau =RC=500\times 4.8\times 10^{-3}=2.4sec

Time is given as t = 1 sec

We know that current in RC circuit is given by

i=\frac{v}{R}(1-e^{\frac{-t}{\tau }})

So current i=\frac{12}{500}(1-e^{\frac{-1}{2.4 }})=0.00817A=81.7mA

Which is not given in the following option
