Chapter 26, Problem 45A

To determine

To draw: the electric and magnetic field crated by a vertical antenna wire as it transmits radio waves.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

Vertical antennas make up a commonly used type of radio antenna. The electric field produced will be parallel to the conductor of antenna.

In this case, magnetic and electric field will be at right angle that means they will be at right angle to each other and to the direction of propagation of wave.

The electric field oscillates up and down in vertical direction and on the other hand, the magnetic field oscillates at right angel to the electric field.

The required figure is drawn below

  

Conclusion:

Hence, the diagram is drawn.
