What is the magnetic field amplitude of an electromagnetic wave whose electric field amplitude is 10V/m ?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The magnetic field amplitude of an electromagnetic wave is3.33×10-8T.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1: 

As it stand's,

E=10V/m

c=3×108m/s

Electric field amplitude,

E=c·B

B-Magnitude field of amplitude.

localid="1648801389365" c-In a vacuum, the speed of light

02

Calculation of magnetic field amplitude

Electric field amplitude is,

E=c·B

from the formula,

both to be divided byc,

Ec=c·Bc

B=Ec

B=10V/m3×108m/s

B=3.33×10-8T
