(Where $c$ is speed of light)

Question

Magnetic field in a plane electromagnetic wave is given by, B → = B 0 sin k x + ω t j ^ T . Expression for corresponding electric field will be: (Where c is speed of light)

TestHub · Accepted Answer

For electromagnetic wave speed of light is given by

$c = \frac{E_{0}}{B_{0}}$
Electric field is expressed as $E_{0} = c B_{0}, \vec{E} i s ⊥ to direction x and direction o f \vec{B}$

The expression of electric field is $\vec{E} = c B_{0} s i n (k x + w t) \hat{k} V m^{- 1}$
