Developing a Feel
Make an order-of-magnitude estimate of each of the following quantities. Letters in parentheses refer to hints below. Use them as needed to
guide your thinking.
1. The shortest-wavelength electromagnetic wave you can gener-
ate by waving a charged rod (T, F, B)
2. The wavelength of a radio station that is called FM 104 (A, K,
F, B)
3. The frequency of a radio wave if one wavelength occupies the
length of a tennis court (F, B, U)
4. The maximum magnitude of the electric field 1 m from an elec-
tron that has 10¬12 J of energy and is moving at a constant speed
v z Co (W, G, DD, S, FF)
5. The time interval needed for a radio wave pulse emitted from
ground level to travel to and then back from a communications
satellite moving in a geostationary orbit at 3 x 10° m/s(A satellite
in geostationary orbit moves at a translational speed equal to the
product of Earth's rotational speed and the orbit's radius, so it always
stays above a single location on Earth's surface.) (B, P, CC, N, H)
6. The average displacement current caused when a 1-µF capaci-
tor is charged to 10 V in 0.1 s (J, O)
7. The root mean square (rms) value of the electric field magnitude
1 km from an AM radio station emitting antenna (E, I, X, Q, V, M)
8. The maximum magnetic field magnitude 100 mm from a
125-mW cell phone (E, Z, X, Q, BB)
9. The change in electric flux in the region between your finger
and a metal doorknob when a spark jumps from your finger to
the knob (Y, EE, C, R)
10. The power radiated by all the AM radio stations in the United
States (M, D, L, AA)
