Answer:

Magnetic field, B = 1.24\times 10^{-8}\ T (eastwards)

Explanation:

Given that,

The magnitude of electric field, E = 3.7 V/m

A plane electromagnetic wave travels northward. We need to find the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field at this instant.

The relation between the magnetic field and the electric field of the plane electromagnetic wave is given by :

B=\dfrac{E}{c}

c is the speed of light

B=\dfrac{3.7}{3\times10^8}\\\\B=1.24\times 10^{-8}\ T

So, the magnetic field is 1.24\times 10^{-8}\ T. The direction of magnetic field is perpendicular to the electric field and the direction of wave propagation. Hence, the direction of magnetic field is eastward.

A proton is held at rest in a uniform electric field. When it is released, the proton will lose?
nydimaria [60]

A proton is held at rest in a uniform electric field. When it is released, the proton will lose its kinetic energy.

Kinetic energy

The energy an object has as a result of motion is known as kinetic energy in physics. It is described as the effort required to move a mass-determined body from rest to the indicated velocity. The body holds onto the kinetic energy it acquired during its acceleration until its speed changes. The body exerts the same amount of effort when slowing down from its current pace to a condition of rest. Formally, kinetic energy is any term that includes a derivative with respect to time in the Lagrangian of a system.

How does a generator work?
insens350 [35]

An electric generator is a device that converts mechanical energy obtained from an external source into electrical energy as the output.

It is important to understand that a generator does not actually ‘create’ electrical energy. Instead, it uses the mechanical energy supplied to it to force the movement of electric charges present in the wire of its windings through an external electric circuit. This flow of electric charges constitutes the output electric current supplied by the generator. This mechanism can be understood by considering the generator to be analogous to a water pump, which causes the flow of water but does not actually ‘create’ the water flowing through it.

The modern-day generator works on the principle of electromagnetic induction discovered by Michael Faraday in 1831-32. Faraday discovered that the above flow of electric charges could be induced by moving an electrical conductor, such as a wire that contains electric charges, in a magnetic field. This movement creates a voltage difference between the two ends of the wire or electrical conductor, which in turn causes the electric charges to flow, thus generating electric current.
