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

The electric field of an electromagnetic wave in free space is represented as \(\vec{E}=E_0 \cos (\omega t-k z) \hat{i}\). The corresponding magnetic induction vector will be _______.

  1. A \(\vec{B}=E_0 C \cos (\omega t-k z) \hat{j}\)
  2. B \(\vec{B}=\frac{E_0}{C} \cos (\omega t-k z) \hat{j}\)
  3. C \(\vec{B}=E_0 \operatorname{Cos}(\omega t+k z) \hat{j}\)
  4. D \(\vec{B}=\frac{E_0}{C} \cos (\omega t+k z) \hat{j}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\vec{B}=\frac{E_0}{C} \cos (\omega t-k z) \hat{j}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given \(\vec{E}=E_0 \cos (\omega t-k z) \hat{i}\) \( \vec{B}=\frac{E_0}{C} \cos (\omega t-k z) \hat{j} \) \( \hat{C}=\hat{E} \times \hat{B}\)
