Question
The strength of radiation pressure equals the magnitude of this vector quantity over the speed of light. For 10 points each:
[10m] Name this vector quantity that represents the energy flux of an electromagnetic field. It equals the cross product of the E- and H-fields.
ANSWER: Poynting vector [prompt on S]
[10h] The Poynting vector was independently discovered by this scientist, who names a set of conditions to reduce distortion in transmission lines. He also derived the telegrapher’s equations and coined the term “impedance.”
ANSWER: Oliver Heaviside [accept Heaviside conditions]
[10e] The first telegrapher’s equation relates the spatial derivative of voltage to this quantity and its time derivative. By Ohm’s law, voltage equals this quantity times resistance.
ANSWER: current [prompt on I]
