The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the maximum value of the electric field \( E_0 \) at a point 3 meters from a source producing electromagnetic waves with a power of 1500 W. We will also find \( \frac{E_0}{20} \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the relationship between power, intensity, and electric field:** The intensity \( I \) of an electromagnetic wave can be expressed in two ways: \[ I = \frac{P}{4 \pi r^2} \] and \[ I = \frac{1}{2} \epsilon_0 E_0^2 c \] where: - \( P \) is the power of the source, - \( r \) is the distance from the source, - \( \epsilon_0 \) is the permittivity of free space (\( 8.85 \times 10^{-12} \, \text{F/m} \)), - \( c \) is the speed of light (\( 3 \times 10^8 \, \text{m/s} \)), - \( E_0 \) is the maximum electric field. 2. **Set the two expressions for intensity equal to each other:** \[ \frac{P}{4 \pi r^2} = \frac{1}{2} \epsilon_0 E_0^2 c \] 3. **Substitute the known values:** - Power \( P = 1500 \, \text{W} \) - Distance \( r = 3 \, \text{m} \) - \( \epsilon_0 = 8.85 \times 10^{-12} \, \text{F/m} \) - \( c = 3 \times 10^8 \, \text{m/s} \) Plugging in these values: \[ \frac{1500}{4 \pi (3^2)} = \frac{1}{2} (8.85 \times 10^{-12}) E_0^2 (3 \times 10^8) \] 4. **Calculate the left side:** \[ 4 \pi (3^2) = 4 \pi \times 9 = 36 \pi \approx 113.097 \] \[ \frac{1500}{113.097} \approx 13.27 \, \text{W/m}^2 \] 5. **Set up the equation:** \[ 13.27 = \frac{1}{2} (8.85 \times 10^{-12}) E_0^2 (3 \times 10^8) \] 6. **Simplify the right side:** \[ \frac{1}{2} \times 8.85 \times 10^{-12} \times 3 \times 10^8 \approx 1.3275 \times 10^{-3} E_0^2 \] 7. **Equate and solve for \( E_0^2 \):** \[ 13.27 = 1.3275 \times 10^{-3} E_0^2 \] \[ E_0^2 = \frac{13.27}{1.3275 \times 10^{-3}} \approx 10000 \] \[ E_0 = \sqrt{10000} = 100 \, \text{V/m} \] 8. **Find \( \frac{E_0}{20} \):** \[ \frac{E_0}{20} = \frac{100}{20} = 5 \, \text{V/m} \] ### Final Answer: The value of \( \frac{E_0}{20} \) is \( 5 \, \text{V/m} \).
