Em Waves Question 32

Question: In an electromagnetic wave, the electric and magnetising fields are $ 100,V,{{m}^{-1}} $ and $ 0.265,A,{{m}^{-1}} $ . The maximum energy flow is

[Pb. PMT 1997, 98]

Options:

A) $ 26.5,W/m^{2} $

B) $ 36.5,W/m^{2} $

C) $ 46.7,W/m^{2} $

D) $ 765,W/m^{2} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

Here $ E _{0}=100\ V/m, $

$ B _{0}=0.265\ A/m. $ \ Maximum rate of energy flow S = $ E _{0}\times B _{0} $ = $ 100\times .265=26.5\frac{W}{m^{2}} $
