A receptor circuit consists of a 1-m long wire, located 5 cm above a ground plane. Each end of the circuit is terminated with a 50-Ω resistor. An electric field induces a noise current of 0.5 mA into the circuit. The magnetic field from the same noise source induces a noise voltage of 25 mV into the circuit.
a. If the noise voltage is measured across each of the terminating resistors, what will the two readings be?
b. What general conclusion can you draw from the above results?
c. What will happen if the polarity of the magnetic-field induced voltage is reversed?
