Out of electric field vector, `vec(E)` and magnetic field vector, vec(B)` in an electromagnetic wave, which is more effective and why ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine which field vector, the electric field vector \( \vec{E} \) or the magnetic field vector \( \vec{B} \), is more effective in an electromagnetic wave, we can analyze the forces they exert on a charged particle. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Forces**: - The force \( F_e \) due to the electric field is given by the equation: \[ F_e = q \cdot \vec{E} ...
