Get started for freea. Show that and , the energy densities of the electric and magnetic fields, are equal to each other in an electromagnetic wave. In other words, show that the wave’s energy is divided equally between the electric field and the magnetic field.
b. What is the total energy density in an electromagnetic wave of intensity ?
A current is charging a -diameter parallel-plate capacitor.
a. What is the magnetic field strength at a point radially from the center of the wire leading to the capacitor?
b. What is the magnetic field strength at a point localid="1650010280999" radially from the center of the capacitor?
The radar system at an airport broadcasts microwaves with of power. An approaching airplane with a cross section is away. Assume that the radar broadcasts uniformly in all directions and that the airplane scatters microwaves uniformly in all directions. What is the electric field strength of the microwave signal received back at the airport later?
2. Sharon drives her rocket through the magnetic field of FIGURE Q31.2 traveling to the right at a speed of as measured by Bill. As she passes Bill, she shoots a positive charge backward at a speed of relative to her.
a. According to Bill, what kind of force or forces act on the charge? In which directions? Explain.
b. According to Sharon, what kind of force or forces act on the charge? In which directions? Explain.
