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.
