The magnetic field of a plane electromagnetic wave is given by , then the associated electric field will be :
- AV/m
- BV/m
- CV/m
- DV/m
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: A
For electromagnetic wave,
$$|\overrightarrow B | = {{|\overrightarrow E |} \over c}$$
Here $\overrightarrow B $ is magnetic field associated with EM wave
$\overrightarrow E $ is electric field associated with EM wave
c is the speed of EM wave
$$ \Rightarrow |\overrightarrow E | = c|\overrightarrow B |$$
$$ = 3 \times {10^8} \times 3 \times {10^{ - 8}}\cos (1.6 \times {10^3}x + 48 \times {10^{10}}t)$$ V/m
Direction can be determined from
Poynting vector $$ = {{\overrightarrow E \times \overrightarrow B } \over {{\mu _0}}}$$
$$\overrightarrow E = 9\cos (1.6 \times {10^3}x + 48 \times {10^{10}}t)\widehat k$$ V/m
