Chapter 24: Q3CQ (page 886)
Why is the direction of the current shown in each part of Figure\({\rm{24}}{\rm{.6}}\)opposite to the electric field produced by the wire鈥檚 charge separation?
The current points towards the direction of a positive charge, on the other hand, the electric field points away from it.

Your friend says that more patterns and colors can be seen on the wings of birds if viewed in ultraviolet light. Would you agree with your friend? Explain your answer.
Should the straight wire antenna of a radio be vertical or horizontal to best receive radio waves broadcast by a vertical transmitter antenna? How should a loop antenna be aligned to best receive the signals? (Note that the direction of the loop that produces the best reception can be used to determine the location of the source. It is used for that purpose in tracking tagged animals in nature studies, for example.)
If electric and magnetic field strengths vary sinusoidally in time, being zero at\({\rm{t = 0}}\), then \({\rm{E = }}{{\rm{E}}_{\rm{0}}}{\rm{sin2\pi ft}}\) and\({\rm{B = }}{{\rm{B}}_{\rm{0}}}{\rm{sin2\pi ft}}\). Let \({\rm{f = 1}}{\rm{.00GHz}}\)here. (a) When are the field strengths first zero? (b) When do they reach their most negative value? (c) How much time is needed for them to complete one cycle?
Lunar astronauts placed a reflector on the Moon's surface, off which a laser beam is periodically reflected. The distance to the Moon is calculated from the round-trip time. (a) To what accuracy in meters can the distance to the Moon be determined if this time can be measured to? (b) What percent accuracy is this, given the average distance to the Moon is?
(a) The ideal size (most efficient) for a broadcast antenna with one end on the ground is one-fourth the wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation being sent out. If a new radio station has such an antenna that is 50.0 m high, what frequency does it broadcast most efficiently? Is this in the AM or FM band? (b) Discuss the analogy of the fundamental resonant mode of an air column closed at one end to the resonance of currents on an antenna that is one-fourth their wavelength.
