   1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
   
   If a wave is transmitted from an antenna with an amplitude of 5v and a receiver at 10 meters away and another is at 20 meters away picks the signal up. If they are the exact same receivers, will they register the same voltage? Will they register the same current?
   
   2. Relevant equations
   
   
   
   3. The attempt at a solution
   
   Im going to say the voltage will be the same but the current will be lower in the one that is farther away.
