The correct Answer is:
To solve the given 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**: We are given that the electric field \( E_y \) is directly proportional to the current density \( J_x \) and the magnetic field \( B_z \). This can be expressed mathematically as: \[ E_y \propto J_x \cdot B_z \] 2. **Introducing a Proportionality Constant**: To convert the proportionality into an equation, we introduce a constant of proportionality \( k \): \[ E_y = k \cdot J_x \cdot B_z \] 3. **Rearranging for the Constant \( k \)**: We can rearrange the equation to solve for \( k \): \[ k = \frac{E_y}{J_x \cdot B_z} \] 4. **Identifying the Units**: Now, we need to determine the units of \( k \). We know the following units: - 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). 5. **Converting Units**: We can express the units in terms of base SI units: - \( 1 \, \text{V} = 1 \, \text{kg} \cdot \text{m}^2 / (\text{s}^3 \cdot \text{A}) \) - \( 1 \, \text{T} = 1 \, \text{kg} / (\text{s}^2 \cdot \text{A}) \) Therefore, the units of \( E_y \) can be expressed as: \[ [E_y] = \frac{\text{kg} \cdot \text{m}^2}{\text{s}^3 \cdot \text{A} \cdot \text{m}} = \frac{\text{kg} \cdot \text{m}}{\text{s}^3 \cdot \text{A}} \] 6. **Calculating the Units of \( k \)**: Now substituting the units into the expression for \( k \): \[ k = \frac{[E_y]}{[J_x] \cdot [B_z]} = \frac{\frac{\text{kg} \cdot \text{m}}{\text{s}^3 \cdot \text{A}}}{\left(\frac{\text{A}}{\text{m}^2}\right) \cdot \left(\frac{\text{kg}}{\text{s}^2 \cdot \text{A}}\right)} \] Simplifying this gives us: \[ k = \frac{\frac{\text{kg} \cdot \text{m}}{\text{s}^3 \cdot \text{A}}}{\frac{\text{kg} \cdot \text{m}^2}{\text{s}^2 \cdot \text{A}^2}} = \frac{\text{m}}{\text{s} \cdot \text{A}} = \text{m}^2/\text{As} \] 7. **Final Result**: The constant of proportionality \( k \) has the SI unit of \( \text{m}^2/\text{As} \). ### Conclusion: Thus, the correct answer is: **C. \( \text{m}^2/\text{As} \)**
