Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The peak electric field component is given by:$$E = cB$$where:* E is the peak electric field component* c is the speed of light* B is the peak magnetic field componentSubstituting the given values into the equation, we get:$$E = (3.00 	imes 10^8 	ext{ m/s})(7.3 	imes 10^{-7} 	ext{ T}) = 2.2 	imes 10^2 	ext{ N/C}$$Therefore, the correct answer is C.
