The energy associated with electric field is ( U _ E ) and with...
The energy associated with electric field is and with magnetic field is for an electromagnetic wave in free space. Then:
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
B.
Step-by-step solution
The average energy density of electric field is given by
Here, is the maximum value of electric field.
The average energy density of magnetic field is given by
Here, is the maximum value of magnetic field.
The speed of light is given by
Also,
So,
As the energy density of electric field and magnetic field are equal, the energy associated for equal volume will also be equal.
