The correct Answer is:
To find the maximum value of the magnetic field (B_max) for an electromagnetic wave propagating along the x-axis with a given maximum electric field (E_max), we can use the relationship between the electric field and magnetic field in electromagnetic waves. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the given values**: - Maximum electric field (E_max) = 30 V/m - Speed of light (c) = 3 x 10^8 m/s 2. **Use the relationship between E_max and B_max**: The relationship between the maximum electric field (E_max) and the maximum magnetic field (B_max) in an electromagnetic wave is given by the equation: \[ E_{max} = B_{max} \cdot c \] where: - E_max is the maximum electric field, - B_max is the maximum magnetic field, - c is the speed of light in vacuum. 3. **Rearrange the equation to solve for B_max**: To find B_max, we can rearrange the equation: \[ B_{max} = \frac{E_{max}}{c} \] 4. **Substitute the known values**: Now, substitute the values of E_max and c into the equation: \[ B_{max} = \frac{30 \, \text{V/m}}{3 \times 10^8 \, \text{m/s}} \] 5. **Calculate B_max**: Performing the calculation: \[ B_{max} = \frac{30}{3 \times 10^8} = \frac{30}{3} \times 10^{-8} = 10 \times 10^{-8} = 10^{-7} \, \text{T} \] 6. **Conclusion**: The maximum value of the magnetic field (B_max) is: \[ B_{max} = 10^{-7} \, \text{T} \] ### Final Answer: The maximum value of the magnetic field is \( 10^{-7} \, \text{Tesla} \). ---
