The correct Answer is:
To find the expression for the electric field corresponding to the given magnetic field in a plane electromagnetic wave, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between electric and magnetic fields in electromagnetic waves. In an electromagnetic wave, the electric field (E) and the magnetic field (B) are related by the equation: \[ \frac{E}{B} = c \] where \( c \) is the speed of light in vacuum, approximately \( 3 \times 10^8 \, \text{m/s} \). ### Step 2: Write down the given magnetic field. The magnetic field is given as: \[ \bar{B} = B_0 \sin(kx + \omega t) \hat{j} \] where \( B_0 \) is the amplitude of the magnetic field, \( k \) is the wave number, and \( \omega \) is the angular frequency. ### Step 3: Calculate the electric field magnitude. Using the relationship from Step 1, we can express the electric field as: \[ E = cB \] Substituting the expression for \( B \): \[ E = cB_0 \sin(kx + \omega t) \] ### Step 4: Determine the direction of the electric field. In electromagnetic waves, the electric field is perpendicular to the magnetic field. Given that the magnetic field is in the \( \hat{j} \) direction, the electric field will be in the \( \hat{i} \) direction (assuming the wave is propagating in the \( \hat{i} \) direction). ### Step 5: Write the final expression for the electric field. Thus, the electric field can be expressed as: \[ \bar{E} = cB_0 \sin(kx + \omega t) \hat{i} \] ### Final Answer: The expression for the electric field corresponding to the given magnetic field is: \[ \bar{E} = cB_0 \sin(kx + \omega t) \hat{i} \] ---
