An electromagnetic wave travels in free space along the x-direction. At a particular point in space and time, B=2 10-7 j T is associated with this wave. The value of corresponding electric field E at this point is V/m.
- 60 k
- -60 k
- 30 k
- -600 k
Answer
(2) -60 k
Solution
Magnitude: E = cB = 3 108 2 10-7 = 60 V/m
Direction: the wave travels along E B, i.e. along + i.
With B along j: k j = - i, while (- k) j = + i
∴ E is along - k
⇒ E = -60 k V/m
