What is Field strength: Definition and 367 Discussions

In physics, field strength means the magnitude of a vector-valued field (e.g., in volts per meter, V/m, for an electric field E).
For example, an electromagnetic field results in both electric field strength and magnetic field strength.
As an application, in radio frequency telecommunications, the signal strength excites a receiving antenna and thereby induces a voltage at a specific frequency and polarization in order to provide an input signal to a radio receiver. Field strength meters are used for such applications as cellular, broadcasting, wi-fi and a wide variety of other radio-related applications.

    Electric field strength problem

    Here is my solution. I completed this problem to the best of my ability and I am asking for someone to check and correct my solution if possible. I am not sure if my answers are correct, although and my thinking might also be flawed :confused: q1= 6.0e-6C q2= 1.5e-6C q3=-2.0e-6C The...

    Electric Potential and Electric Field Strength

    Hey! I've got my A-Level Physics exam on Thursday, and I'm just doing some past papers and I'm totally confused! Please help! One of the questions (multiple choice) was saying which statement was incorrect. The answer was: Electric potential is zero whenever electric field strength is...

    Electric field strength (should be easy)

    What is the electric field strength in a region where the flux through a: 1.0cm \times 1.0cm flat surface is: 65N\frac{m^2}{C}, if the field is uniform and the surface is at right angles to the field? [] []----> E [] Since the field points at a right angle to the surface we have a norm...

    The Electric Field Strength of a Proton Accelerated at 1 Million g

    What is the electric field strength at a point in space where a proton experiences an acceleration of 1 million "g"? I'm completely lost on this one I know it's bound to be something simple but I just can't figure out where to start with it, well other than that 1 million "g" should be...
