Question

a) How is the radiating electric field (or electromagnetic signal) produced when radio stations broadcast? Include a description of what is producing the signal as well as the reasoning behind how this could produce a signal.

b) How does your antenna work to detect this electromagnetic signal produced when radio stations broadcast? Include the physics principles that support your description of how this signal is detected.

2) Using the simulation, adjust the transmitter so that it is in sinusoidal mode and the electrons are oscillating up and down at a regular frequency. This is how radio waves are broadcast. Set it so that both ?display the curve? and the ?radiated field? boxes are checked.

a) What does the curve represent?
The line of electrons being sprayed off of the antenna that then cause the receiver electron to move.
The path that an electron will follow due to the electromagnetic wave.
The evenly spaced electrons moving up and down between the two antennae.
The field of negative charges that are moving through space.
The strength and direction of the force that would be exerted by the electromagnetic wave on an electron.

Explanation / Answer

I think it is The strength and direction of the force that would be exerted by the electromagnetic wave on an electron
