Answer

$d = 7.3\times 10^{15}~m$

Work Step by Step

We can find the required intensity: $I = \frac{1}{2}~E_0^2~\epsilon_0~c$ $I = \frac{1}{2}~(\frac{B_0}{c})^2~\epsilon_0~c$ $I = \frac{B_0^2~\epsilon_0}{2c}$ $I = \frac{(1.0\times 10^{-6}~T)^2~(8.854\times 10^{-12}~F/m)}{(2)(3.0\times 10^8~m/s)}$ $I = 1.476\times 10^{-32}~W/m^2$ We can find the required distance: $I = \frac{P}{4\pi~d^2}$ $d^2 = \frac{P}{4\pi~I}$ $d = \sqrt{\frac{P}{4\pi~I}}$ $d = \sqrt{\frac{10~W}{(4\pi)~(1.476\times 10^{-32}~W/m^2)}}$ $d = 7.3\times 10^{15}~m$
