The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the relationship between the electric field \( E_y \), the current density \( J_x \), and the magnetic field \( B_z \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Relationship**: The problem states that the electric field \( E_y \) developed along the y-axis is directly proportional to the current density \( J_x \) (which flows along the x-axis) and the magnetic field \( B_z \) (which is along the z-axis). This can be expressed mathematically as: \[ E_y \propto J_x \cdot B_z \] 2. **Introducing the Proportionality Constant**: We can introduce a constant of proportionality \( K \) such that: \[ E_y = K \cdot J_x \cdot B_z \] 3. **Identifying the Units**: We need to determine the SI units of the constant \( K \). The units of \( E_y \), \( J_x \), and \( B_z \) are as follows: - The unit of electric field \( E_y \) is volts per meter (V/m). - The unit of current density \( J_x \) is amperes per square meter (A/m²). - The unit of magnetic field \( B_z \) is teslas (T), which can also be expressed as kg/(A·s²). 4. **Expressing Units in Terms of Base SI Units**: We can express these units in terms of base SI units: - \( [E_y] = \text{V/m} = \text{(kg·m²)/(s³·A)} \) - \( [J_x] = \text{A/m²} \) - \( [B_z] = \text{T} = \text{kg/(A·s²)} \) 5. **Substituting the Units into the Equation**: Now substituting the units into the equation \( E_y = K \cdot J_x \cdot B_z \): \[ [E_y] = [K] \cdot [J_x] \cdot [B_z] \] \[ \text{(kg·m²)/(s³·A)} = [K] \cdot \text{(A/m²)} \cdot \text{(kg/(A·s²))} \] 6. **Simplifying the Units**: Rearranging the right-hand side: \[ [K] \cdot \left(\frac{\text{A}}{\text{m²}}\right) \cdot \left(\frac{\text{kg}}{\text{A·s²}}\right) = [K] \cdot \frac{\text{kg}}{\text{m²·s²}} \] Therefore, we have: \[ \text{(kg·m²)/(s³·A)} = [K] \cdot \frac{\text{kg}}{\text{m²·s²}} \] 7. **Solving for \( K \)**: To isolate \( K \), we can divide both sides by \( \frac{\text{kg}}{\text{m²·s²}} \): \[ [K] = \frac{\text{(kg·m²)/(s³·A)}}{\text{kg/(m²·s²)}} = \frac{m²·s²}{s³·A} = \frac{m²}{s·A} \] 8. **Final Result**: Thus, the unit of the constant of proportionality \( K \) is: \[ [K] = \text{m²/(s·A)} \]
