Electromagnetic Waves

Question:

In an electromagnetic wave, the electric and magnetizing fields are 100 Vm−1 and 0.265 Am−1 . The maximum energy flow is

Options:

26.5 Wm−2

36.5 Wm−2

46.7 Wm−2

765 Wm−2

Correct Answer:

26.5 Wm−2

Explanation:

Here, amplitude of electric filed, $E_0 = 100 Vm^{-1};$ amplitude of magnetic field, $B_0 = 0.265 Am^{-1}$. We know that the maximum rate of energy flow

$ S = E_0 × B_0 = 100 × 0.265 = 26.5 Wm^{-2}$
