Physics

I worked out the fields radiated by an electric dipole in class,and they are also in 11.1.2 of the text. These fields carry energyaway and we know the radiated power. From the point of view of thesource of the time dependent current (and charge) in the dipole,the antenna could just as well be a resistance with resistance R.Find the value of this resistance, known as the “radiationresistance.”

The idea of radiation resistance is like this As the dipoleoscillates in the antenna then energy is radiated out from itsfield If that much of average power is to be radiated as heatwhat should be the value of the resistance of the wire connectingthe dipoles That is called radiation resistance This is    See Answer
