Answer:
[tex]Attenuation = 0.458\ db[/tex]
Explanation:
Given
Power at point A = 100W
Power at point B = 90W
Required
Determine the attenuation in decibels
Attenuation is calculated using the following formula
[tex]Attenuation = 10Log_{10}\frac{P_s}{P_d}[/tex]
Where [tex]P_s = Power\ Inpu[/tex]t and [tex]P_d = Power\ outpu[/tex]t
[tex]P_s = 100W[/tex]
[tex]P_d = 90W[/tex]
Substitute these values in the given formula
[tex]Attenuation = 10Log_{10}\frac{P_s}{P_d}[/tex]
[tex]Attenuation = 10Log_{10}\frac{100}{90}[/tex]
[tex]Attenuation = 10 * 0.04575749056[/tex]
[tex]Attenuation = 0.4575749056[/tex]
[tex]Attenuation = 0.458\ db[/tex] (Approximated)
