- MCQ
All electromagnetic wave is transporting energy in the negative \(z\) direction. At a certain point and certain time the direction of electric field of the wave is along positive y direction. What will be the direction of the magnetic field of the wave at that point and instant?
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) Positive direction of \(x\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
As, poynting vector
\(\overrightarrow{ S }=\overrightarrow{ E } \times \overrightarrow{ H }\)
Given energy transport \(=\) negative \(z\) direction Electric field \(=\) positive \(y\) direction
\((-\hat{ k })=(+\hat{ j }) \times[\hat{ i }]\)
Hence according to vector cross product magnetic field should be positive \(x\) direction.
