JEE Main & Advanced Physics EM Waves Question Bank Self Evaluation Test - Electromagnetic Waves

  • question_answer
    The magnetic field in a travelling electromagnetic wave has a peak value of 20 nT. The peak value of electric field strength is

    A) \[3V/m\]

    B) \[6V/m\]

    C) \[9V/m\]

    D) \[12V/m\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] From question, \[{{B}_{0}}=20nT=20\times {{10}^{-9}}T\] (\[\because \]velocity of light in vacuum \[C=3\times {{10}^{8}}m{{s}^{-1}}\]) \[\vec{E}=\vec{B}\times \vec{C}\] \[|{{\vec{E}}_{0}}|\,=\,|\vec{B}|\cdot |\vec{C}|=20\times {{10}^{-9}}\times 3\times {{10}^{8}}=6V/m.\]
