Answer:
R₁ = 0.126 m
Explanation:
Let's use the definition of intensity which is the power per unit area
I = P / A
the generated power is constant
P = I A
power is
P = E / t
if we perform the calculations for a given time, the wave energy is
E = q V
we substitute
P = [tex]\frac{q V\ A}{t}[/tex]
we can write this equation for two points, point 1 the antenna and point 2 the receiver
V₁A₁ = V₂A₂
A₁ = [tex]\frac{V_2}{V_1} \ A_2[/tex]
A₁ = 0.1 10⁻³ 5 10⁻⁴ /V₁
A₁ = 5 10⁻⁸ /V₁
In general, the electric field on the antenna is very small on the order of micro volts, suppose V₁ = 1 10⁻⁶ V
let's calculate
A₁ = 5 10⁻⁸ / 1 10⁻⁶
A₁ = 5 10⁻² m²
the area of a circle is
A = π r²
we substitute
π R1₁²= 5 10⁻²
R₁ = [tex]\sqrt{ \frac{5 \ 10^{-2} }{\pi } }}[/tex]
R₁ = 0.126 m
