The peak value of the electric field associated with an electromagnetic wave traveling through vacuum is $8.1\, NC^{-1}$. The peak value of the associated magnetic field will be |
$24.3 × 10^8 T$ $2.7 × 10^{-8} T$ $2.7 × 10^8 T$ $24.3 × 10^{-8} T$ |
$2.7 × 10^{-8} T$ |
The correct answer is Option (2) → $2.7 × 10^{-8} T$ Given: Peak electric field, $E_0 = 8.1\ \text{N/C}$ Speed of light, $c = 3\times10^8\ \text{m/s}$ Relation between electric and magnetic fields: $\frac{E_0}{B_0} = c$ Hence, $B_0 = \frac{E_0}{c}$ Substitute values: $B_0 = \frac{8.1}{3\times10^8} = 2.7\times10^{-8}\ \text{T}$ Therefore, the peak value of the magnetic field is $B_0 = 2.7\times10^{-8}\ \text{T}$ |
