NEET Physics Maxwell's Equations MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12

If a plane electromagnetic wave travels in free space along the x-direction and has a magnetic field component B_y = (3 × 10^−8) T, what is the corresponding electric field E?

A

9 V/m

B

6 V/m

C

3 V/m

D

12 V/m

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Using the relationship E = cB, where c is the speed of light (3 × 10^8 m/s), E = 3 × 10^8 × 3 × 10^−8 = 9 V/m.
