An electromagnetic wave with a peak electric field component of 1.74 × 10² N/C has what associated peak magnetic field value? (ε₀ = 8.85 × 10−¹² C²/N⋅m²,μ₀ = 4π × 10−⁷ T⋅m/A and c = 3.00 × 10⁸ m/s)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The peak magnetic field (B) can be calculated using the relation B = E/c, where E is the peak electric field and c is the speed of light. Substituting the given values, B = (1.74 × 10^2 N/C) / (3.00 × 10^8 m/s) = 5.80 × 10^-7 T.
