Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Electric energy density is equal to the magnetic energy density

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(E_{0}=\mathrm{CB}_{0}\) and \(C=\frac{1}{\sqrt{\mu_{0} \varepsilon_{0}}}\)

Electric energy density \(=\frac{1}{2} \varepsilon_{0} E_{0}^{2}=\mu_{E}\)

Magnetic energy density \(=\frac{1}{2} \frac{B o^{2}}{\mu_{0}}=\mu_{B}\)

Thus, \(\mu_{\mathrm{E}}=\mu_{B}\)

Energy is equally divided between electric and magnetic field
