Question

What is the maximum electric field strength in an electromagnetic wave that has a maximum magnetic field strength of (about 10 times earth’s magnetic field)?

Answer 1

The maximum electric field strength in an electromagnetic wave that has a maximum magnetic field strength of 5 × 10^-4 T (about 10 times earth’s magnetic field) is 15 × 10^4 V/m

Given,

Maximum magnetic field strength, $B_{max}$ = 5 × 10^-4 T

Then,

Maximum electric field strength, $E_{max}$ = $B_{max}$ c

Where, c is the speed of light

Substituting all values in formula, we get,

             $E_{max}$ = 5 × 10^-4 × 3 × 10^8

                      = 15 ×× 10^4 V/m

Concept

• Electromagnetic waves are one of the waves that are propagated by simultaneous periodic variations of electric and magnetic field intensity.
