Chapter 23: Q18 P (page 988)

If the magnetic field in a particular pulse has a magnitude of $1 x 10^{- 5} T$ (comparable to the Earth's magnetic field). What is the magnitude of the associated electric field?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The magnitude of the associated electric field is $3000 V/m$

Step by step solution

Identification of given data

Magnitude of magnetic field $B = 1 \times 10^{- 5} T$

Concept of Ampere’s law

It states that the pulse of the electric field and magnetic field is travelling through space with speed of light. It is given as

$E = c B$ …(i)

Where, $E$ is the electric field, $B$ is the magnetic field and $c$ is the speed of light

Determining the magnitude of the associated electric field

Substituting all the values in equation (i)

$E = (3 \times 10^{8} m/s) \times (1 \times 10^{- 5} T) = 3000 V/m$

Hence the magnitude of the associated electric field is $3000 V/m$
