CHECK THE COMPLETE QUESTION BELOW;

the intensity of an electromagnetic wave is 80 MW/m2, what is the amplitude of the magnetic field of this wave? (c=3.0×108m/s, μ0=4π×10−7T⋅m/A, ε0=8.85×10−12C2/N⋅m2)

Answer:

2.4×10^5 N/C

Explanation:

the amplitude can be explained as the maximum field strength of the electric and magnetic fields. Wave energy is proportional to its amplitude squared (E2 or B2).

We were told to calculate the amplitude of the magnetic field, which can be done using expresion below

S=ε²/2cμ

Where S is the intensity intensity of an electromagnetic wave given as 80 MW/m2

ε² is the Amplitude which we are looking for

c= speed of light given as 3×10^8m/s

Substitute the values into above formula we have,

S=ε²/2cμ

Making Amplitude subject of formula

ε²=S×2cμ

ε²=[80×10^6)(2×3×10^8)(4Π×10^-7)

= 245598.44

ε²=2.4×10^5 N/C

Therefore, amplitude of the magnetic field of this wave is S=2.4×10^5 N/C

A negative charge of 20 x 10-6C and another charge of 15 x 10-6C are separated by as distance of 0.7 m.

Answer:

Approximately $5.5\; \rm N$ , assuming that the volume of these two charged objects is negligible.

Explanation:

Assume that the dimensions of these two charged objects is much smaller than the distance between them. Hence, Coulomb's Law would give a good estimate of the electrostatic force between these two objects regardless of their exact shapes.

Let $q_1$ and $q_2$ denote the magnitude of two point charges (where the volume of both charged object is negligible.) In this question, $q_1 = 20 \times 10^{-6}\; \rm C$ and $q_2 = 15 \times 10^{-6}\; \rm C$ .

Let $r$ denote the distance between these two point charges. In this question, $r = 0.7\; \rm m$ .

Let $k$ denote the Coulomb constant. In standard units, $k \approx 8.98755\times 10^{9}\; \rm kg \cdot m^{3}\cdot s^{-2}\cdot C^{-2}$ .

By Coulomb's Law, the magnitude of electrostatic force (electric force) between these two point charges would be:

$\begin{aligned}F &= \frac{k \cdot q_1 \cdot q_2}{r^{2}}\end{aligned}$ .

Substitute in the values and evaluate:

$\begin{aligned}F &= \frac{k \cdot q_1 \cdot q_2}{r^{2}}\\ &\approx 8.98755 \times 10^{9}\; \rm kg \cdot m^{3}\cdot s^{-2}\cdot C^{-2} \\ &\quad \times 20\times 10^{-6}\; \rm C\\ &\quad \times 15\times 10^{-6}\; \rm C \\ &\quad \times \frac{1}{{(0.7\; \rm m)}^{2}}\\ &\approx 5.5\; \rm N \end{aligned}$ .
