When you look at the North Star (Polaris), you intercept light from a star at a distance of 431Iy and emitting energy at a rate of 2.2 x 103 times that of our Sun (Psun = 3.90 x 1026 W). Neglecting any atmospheric absorption, find the rms values of the electric and magnetic fields when the starlight reaches you.
