Satellite TV is broadcast from satellites that orbit the earth. Their antennas broadcast a 15 kW microwave signal that covers most of North America, an area of about 2.5 × 107 km2. A 46-cm-diameter ground-based dish antenna focuses the incoming wave to a 1.0 cm2 area. What is the amplitude of the electric field at this focus?
32. When you use Maxwell's equations to determine electric
and magnetic fields, a lot depends on making the “right"
choice for the integration path. What happens if you choose
the "wrong" path? Do the equations still hold? Consider a
parallel-plate capacitor with circular plates, but use a rectan-
gular integration path that has two sides parallel to the plates
and two sides perpendicular to them, as in Figure P30.32.

You find that the electric-field amplitude of the radio waves coming from the ISS transmitter is 8.9×10−2 V/m and that the frequency of the waves is 201 MHz .
