Explanation 1) Concept: We equate the intensity of receiver and intensity of earth to find the power of the receiver. In the second case, we equate the intensity of source to the intensity of earth to find the power of the source. 2) Formula: P = I A 3) Given: i) Antenna diameter D A = 300 m ii) Distance of galactic center from source R s = 2.2 × 10 4 l y 4) Calculations: a) Power received by the Arecibo antenna : The intensity of the signal on the surface of the earth and the intensity of the signal received by the antenna has to be the same. I E = I A The intensity is nothing but power per unit area. I = P A P E A E = P A A A A E = s u r f a c e a r e a o f e a r t h = 4 π R E 2 , A A ( a r e a o f a n t e n n a ) = π R A 2 P E A E = P A A A P A = A A A E P E P A is the power radiated by the antenna. P A = R A 2 4 R E 2 P E = 1 × 10 - 12 W 4 R A 2 R E 2 P A = 1 × 10 - 12 W 4 300 m 2 4 6.37 × 10 6 m 2 P A = 1.4 × 10 - 22 W b) Power of the source at the center of our galaxy: The intensity of the source is equal to the intesity on earth: I E = I s The intensity is nothing but power per unit area

When current is flowing through the coil, the direction of the torque can be thought of in two ways. Either as the result of the forces on current carrying wires, or as a magnetic dipole moment trying to line up with an external field (e.g. like a compass). Note: the magnetic moment of a coil points in the direction of the coil's magnetic field at the center of the coil. d) Forces: We can consider the left-most piece of the loop (labeled ○) as a short segment of straight wire carrying current directly out of the page at us. Similarly, we can consider the right-most piece of the loop (labeled ) as a short segment straight wire carrying current directly into the page, away from us. Add to the picture below the two forces due to the external magnetic field acting on these two segments. Then describe how these two forces give a torque and determine if the torque acts to rotate the loop clockwise or counterclockwise according to this picture? B
