The direction of the electric fields in radio signals.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
An antenna can be defined as an interface between spatially propagating radio waves and
Theconductorsof antenna are responsible for generating electric fields. Due to potential difference across the end of the antenna, electric field is produced. From this fact, we can conclude that direction of electric field is parallel to the conductor's direction. In this given case, since the conductor is placed horizontally, the electrical fields in the television signals will also be in horizontal direction since both have same direction.
Conclusion:
Hence,the electric fields in television signals will also be in horizontal direction.
