    radiative → electrical · loss to thermal
    • radio- or microwave-frequency radiation and an antenna resonant at that frequency

    Antenna reception —produces→ Charge carriersestablishedclaim record
    electrical → electrical
    • an oscillating current at the wave frequency

  3. 03
    Charge carriers —converts into→ Electrical workestablishedclaim record
    electrical → electrical · loss to thermal
    • carriers driven through an external load at the potential difference the source maintains
