A beam of light travelling along X-axis is described by the electric field Ey=900sinωt-xc. The ratio of electric force to magnetic force on a charge q moving along Y-axis with a speed of 3×107 m s-1 will be :

[Given speed of light =3×108 m s-1 ]

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

Given, Ey=900sinωt-ωxc

Here, E0=900

Electric field and electric force are related as FE=qE0

Magnetic force of a moving charge is given by FB=qvB0

Thus, the ratio FEFB=E0vB0

Using relation between magnetic and electric field, we have

FEFB=cv=3×1083×107=10:1
