JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 8. Electromagnetic waves

The electric field of a plane electromagnetic wave propagating along the \(x\) direction in vacuum is \(\overrightarrow{ E }= E _{0} \hat{ j } \cos (\omega t - kx )\). The magnetic field \(\overrightarrow{ B },\) at the moment \(t =0\) is :

  1. A \(\overrightarrow{ B }= E _{0} \sqrt{\mu_{0} \epsilon_{0}} \cos ( kx ) \hat{ j }\)
  2. B \(\overrightarrow{ B }=\frac{ E _{0}}{\sqrt{\mu_{0} \epsilon_{0}}} \cos ( kx ) \hat{ k }\)
  3. C \(\overrightarrow{ B }= E _{0} \sqrt{\mu_{0} \epsilon_{0}} \cos ( kx ) \hat{ k }\)
  4. D \(\overrightarrow{ B }=\frac{ E _{0}}{\sqrt{\mu_{0} \in_{0}}} \cos ( kx ){\hat{j}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\overrightarrow{ B }= E _{0} \sqrt{\mu_{0} \epsilon_{0}} \cos ( kx ) \hat{ k }\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\therefore \overrightarrow{ B }(\hat{ k })\) \(\Rightarrow \overrightarrow{ B }= B _{0} \cos ( wt - kx ) \hat{ k }\) Now put \(t=0\)
