The correct Answer is:
To find the associated electric field of the given electromagnetic wave, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the given magnetic field The magnetic field of the electromagnetic wave is given as: \[ \overset{B} = 1.6 \times 10^{-6} \cos(2 \times 10^{7} z + 6 \times 10^{15} t) (2 \hat{i} + \hat{j}) \, \text{Wb/m}^2 \] ### Step 2: Determine the magnitude of the magnetic field The magnitude of the magnetic field \( B_0 \) can be extracted from the expression: \[ B_0 = 1.6 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{Wb/m}^2 \] ### Step 3: Use the relationship between electric field and magnetic field In an electromagnetic wave, the magnitudes of the electric field \( E_0 \) and magnetic field \( B_0 \) are related by the equation: \[ E_0 = c B_0 \] where \( c \) is the speed of light in vacuum, approximately \( 3 \times 10^8 \, \text{m/s} \). ### Step 4: Calculate the electric field magnitude Substituting the values into the equation: \[ E_0 = (3 \times 10^8) \times (1.6 \times 10^{-6}) = 4.8 \times 10^2 \, \text{V/m} \] ### Step 5: Determine the direction of the electric field The direction of the electric field \( \overset{E} \) is perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field \( \overset{B} \). The magnetic field vector \( \overset{B} \) has components along \( \hat{i} \) and \( \hat{j} \): \[ \overset{B} = 2 \hat{i} + \hat{j} \] To find a vector \( \overset{E} \) that is perpendicular to \( \overset{B} \), we can use the cross product or find a vector that satisfies the dot product condition: \[ \overset{E} \cdot \overset{B} = 0 \] ### Step 6: Find a suitable electric field vector Assuming the electric field vector has the form: \[ \overset{E} = E_0 (\hat{a} \hat{i} + \hat{b} \hat{j}) \] We need to find \( \hat{a} \) and \( \hat{b} \) such that: \[ (2 \hat{i} + \hat{j}) \cdot (a \hat{i} + b \hat{j}) = 0 \] This gives us the equation: \[ 2a + b = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad b = -2a \] ### Step 7: Choose a suitable value for \( a \) Let’s choose \( a = 1 \): \[ b = -2 \quad \Rightarrow \quad \overset{E} = 4.8 \times 10^2 (1 \hat{i} - 2 \hat{j}) \, \text{V/m} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the associated electric field is: \[ \overset{E} = 4.8 \times 10^2 (1 \hat{i} - 2 \hat{j}) \, \text{V/m} \]
