What is the average value of the magnitude of the Poynting vector (intensity) at 1 meter from a 100-watt light bulb radiating in all directions

 I = 7.96 W / m²

Explanation:

The light bulb emits a power of P = 100W, this power is distributed over the surface of a sphere, thus the emission is in all directions.

Intensity is defined by power per unit area

            I = P / A

The area of a sphere is

         A = 4π r²

we substitute

         I = P / (4π r²)

in this case it tells us that the distance is r = 1 m

let's calculate

        I = 100 / (4π 1²)

        I = 7.96 W / m²

r=rho l/a where a is the area, l is the length and rho is resistivity so the greater the area the lesser the resistance thats why the earth pin is thicker bcos current follow the shortest path, so less resistive .
