"Do you have a reference which defines field strength in terms of voltage induced in a wire?" Here is a reference from a professional source. B. Whitfield Griffith, Jr. was Director of Advanced Development at General Dynamics Corporation at Garland, Texas when his book, "Radio-Electronicc Transmission Fundamentals" was published by Mc Graw-Hill in 1972. On page 322, Griffith writes: "The strength of an electromagnetic wave is generally measured in terms of the intensity of the electric field; this is expressed in volts per meter, or millivolts or microvolts per meter, as the conditions may indicate. This value may be understood as being the numbeer of volts which would be induced in a piece of wire one meter long placed in the field parallel to the electric lines of force; the induction of voltage would result from the movement of the magnetic flux across the wire. Griffith agrees with Terman. Best regards, Richard Harrison, KB5WZI |
