Physics-Maxwell's Equations
NEET Physics Maxwell's Equations MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-numerical-Hard-Class 12
Given a plane electromagnetic wave propagating in vacuum with an electric field amplitude E_0 = 300 V/m, what is the amplitude of the corresponding magnetic field?
A
1.0 μT
B
3.0 μT
C
9.0 μT
D
0.5 μT
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
Using the relation B_0 = E_0/c from Maxwell's equations, where c = 3 × 10^8 m/s, the magnetic field amplitude B_0 = 300/3 × 10^8 = 1.0 μT.
