Antenna reception theory

"At least two people have explained why that voltage is not one volt per

Here are Terman`s exact words again:
"The strength of the wave measured in terms of microvolts per meter of
stress in space is also exactly the same voltage that the magnetic flux
of the wave induces in a conductor 1 m long when sweeping across this
conductor with the velocity of light."
I see Gene`s statemennt as a contradiction within itself. Definition of
field strength is the volts it will generate in a wire 1 meter long.
There is no contradiction in Terman`s statement.
