Question

The magnetic field in a plane electromagnetic wave is given by By\text B_\text y​ = 0.2 μ T sin (8π × 10210^2​ z + 6π × 101110^{11}t). Then the electric field of the wave is:

A.

Ex=6 V/msin(8π×102z+6π×1011t)\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{x}}=6 \mathrm{~V} / \mathrm{m} \sin \left(8 \pi \times 10^2 \mathrm{z}+6 \pi \times 10^{11} \mathrm{t}\right)​​

B.

Ey=6 V/msin(8π×102z+6π×1011t)\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{y}}=6 \mathrm{~V} / \mathrm{m} \sin \left(8 \pi \times 10^2 \mathrm{z}+6 \pi \times 10^{11} \mathrm{t}\right)​​

C.

Ey=60 V/msin(8π×102z+6π×1011t)E_y=60 \mathrm{~V} / \mathrm{m} \sin \left(8 \pi \times 10^2 z+6 \pi \times 10^{11} t\right)​​

D.

Ex=60 V/msin(8π×102z+6π×1011t)\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{x}}=60 \mathrm{~V} / \mathrm{m} \sin \left(8 \pi \times 10^2 z+6 \pi \times 10^{11} \mathrm{t}\right)​​

Correct option is D

To find the electric field of a plane electromagnetic wave, we use the relation between electric field E and magnetic field B in a vacuum:E=cBWhere:c=3×108 m/s (speed of light),B=0.2 μT=0.2×106 TE=3×108×0.2×106=60 V/mFrom the question:By=0.2 μTsin(8π×102z+6π×1011t)So the corresponding electric field will be: Amplitude: 60 V/m Direction: Since B is along y^ and the wave is propagating in the z^-direction, the electric field must be along x^ Same wavefunction (argument of sine)\text{To find the electric field of a plane electromagnetic wave, we use the relation between electric field } \vec{E} \text{ and magnetic field } \vec{B} \text{ in a vacuum:} \\E = c \cdot B \\\\\text{Where:} \\\quad c = 3 \times 10^8\, \text{m/s (speed of light),} \\\quad B = 0.2\, \mu\text{T} = 0.2 \times 10^{-6}\, \text{T} \\\\E = 3 \times 10^8 \times 0.2 \times 10^{-6} = 60\, \text{V/m} \\\\\text{From the question:} \\B_y = 0.2\, \mu\text{T} \cdot \sin(8\pi \times 10^2 z + 6\pi \times 10^{11} t) \\\\\text{So the corresponding electric field will be:} \\\bullet\ \text{Amplitude: } 60\, \text{V/m} \\\bullet\ \text{Direction: Since } \vec{B} \text{ is along } \hat{y} \text{ and the wave is propagating in the } \hat{z}\text{-direction, the electric field must be along } \hat{x} \\\bullet\ \text{Same wavefunction (argument of sine)}Ex=60 V/msin(8π×102z+6π×1011t)\boxed{E_x = 60\, \text{V/m} \cdot \sin(8\pi \times 10^2 z + 6\pi \times 10^{11} t)}​​​
