The correct Answer is:
To find the corresponding electric field of the given magnetic field of a plane electromagnetic wave, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the given magnetic field The magnetic field is given as: \[ \vec{B} = 3 \times 10^{-8} \sin[200 \pi (y + ct)] \hat{i} \, \text{T} \] where \( c = 3 \times 10^8 \, \text{m/s} \). ### Step 2: Determine the magnitude of the electric field The relationship between the electric field \( \vec{E} \) and the magnetic field \( \vec{B} \) in an electromagnetic wave is given by: \[ E_0 = c B_0 \] where \( E_0 \) is the amplitude of the electric field and \( B_0 \) is the amplitude of the magnetic field. From the magnetic field, we can identify: \[ B_0 = 3 \times 10^{-8} \, \text{T} \] Now, substituting the values: \[ E_0 = (3 \times 10^8 \, \text{m/s}) \times (3 \times 10^{-8} \, \text{T}) = 9 \, \text{V/m} \] ### Step 3: Determine the direction of the electric field In an electromagnetic wave, the electric field \( \vec{E} \), magnetic field \( \vec{B} \), and the direction of wave propagation \( \vec{k} \) are mutually perpendicular, following the right-hand rule. 1. The wave is propagating in the direction of \( y + ct \), which implies the wave is moving in the negative \( y \)-direction. Therefore, the wave vector \( \vec{k} \) is in the direction of \( -\hat{j} \). 2. The magnetic field \( \vec{B} \) is in the \( \hat{i} \) direction (x-direction). Using the right-hand rule: - Point your fingers in the direction of \( \vec{B} \) (which is \( \hat{i} \)). - Curl your fingers in the direction of wave propagation (which is \( -\hat{j} \)). - Your thumb will point in the direction of \( \vec{E} \). Thus, the direction of \( \vec{E} \) is in the \( -\hat{k} \) direction (z-direction). ### Step 4: Write the electric field equation The electric field can be expressed as: \[ \vec{E} = E_0 \sin[200 \pi (y + ct)] \hat{k} \] Since the direction is \( -\hat{k} \), we can write: \[ \vec{E} = 9 \sin[200 \pi (y + ct)] (-\hat{k}) \, \text{V/m} \] or \[ \vec{E} = -9 \sin[200 \pi (y + ct)] \hat{k} \, \text{V/m} \] ### Final Answer The corresponding electric field is: \[ \vec{E} = -9 \sin[200 \pi (y + ct)] \hat{k} \, \text{V/m} \]

To find the corresponding electric field of the given magnetic field of a plane electromagnetic wave, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the given magnetic field The magnetic field is given as: \[ \vec{B} = 3 \times 10^{-8} \sin[200 \pi (y + ct)] \hat{i} \, \text{T} \] where \( c = 3 \times 10^8 \, \text{m/s} \). ...
