Question

A planar electromagnetic wave is propagating in the +x direction. At a certain point P and at a given instant, the electric field of the wave is given by = (0.082 V/m) . What is the magnetic vector of the wave at the point P at that instant? (c = 3.0 × 108 m/s)

Answer 1

Answer:

$B=2.74\times 10^{-10}\ T$

Explanation:

It is given that,

A planar electromagnetic wave is propagating in the +x direction.The electric field at a certain point is, E = 0.082 V/m

We need to find the magnetic vector of the wave at the point P at that instant.

The relation between electric field and magnetic field is given by :

$c=\dfrac{E}{B}$

c is speed of light

B is magnetic field

$B=\dfrac{E}{c}\\\\B=\dfrac{0.082}{3\times 10^8}\\\\B=2.74\times 10^{-10}\ T$

So, the magnetic vector at point P at that instant is $2.74\times 10^{-10}\ T$.
