An antenna of radiation resistance 73 ohms carries an rms current of 1 A. The power radiated is

  • A.146 W
  • B.73 W
  • C.8.5 W
  • D.73 mW

Answer: B

Correct answer: 73 W

\[ P = I^2 R_{rad} = 1^2 \times 73 = 73\ \mathrm{W}. \] Radiation resistance is defined so that this works: it is the fictitious resistance that would dissipate the power the antenna actually radiates. The value 73 ohms is that of a half-wave dipole, and the current must be rms for the answer to be an average power.
