Question
A stationary charge produces only an electrostatic field while a charge in uniform motion produces a magnetic field, that does not change with time. An oscillating charge is an example of accelerating charge. It produces an oscillating magnetic field, which in turn produces an oscillating electric fields and so on. The oscillating electric and magnetic fields regenerate each other as a wave which propagates through space.

$(i) \ (a) \ \vec{E}= B _0 c \sin ( kx +\omega t ) \hat{k} V / m$
Explanation: Given : $\vec{B}= B _0 \sin ( kx +\omega t ) \hat{j} T$
The relation between electric and magnetic field is, $c =\frac{E}{B}$ or $E = cB$
The electric field component is perpendicular to the direction of propagation and the direction of magnetic field. Therefore, the electric field component along z-axis is obtained as $\vec{E}= cB _0 \sin ( kx +\omega t ) \hat{k} V / m$
$(ii) \ (b) \ \frac{2 E_0}{c} \hat{j} \sin kz \sin \omega t$
Explanation: $\frac{d E}{d z}=-\frac{d B}{d t}$
$\frac{d E}{d z}=-2 E _0 k \sin kz \cos \omega t =-\frac{d B}{d t}$
$dB =+2 E _0 k \sin kz \cos \omega tdt$
$B =+2 E _0 k \sin kz \int \cos \omega tdt =+2 E _0 \frac{k}{\omega} \sin kz \sin \omega t$
$\frac{E_0}{B_0}=\frac{\omega}{k}=c$
$B =\frac{2 E_0}{c} \sin kz \sin \omega t \therefore \vec{B}=\frac{2 E_0}{c} \sin kz \sin \omega t \hat{j}$
$E$ is along $y-$direction and the wave propagates along $x-$axis.
$\therefore B$ should be in a direction perpendicular to both $x$-and $y-$axis.
$(iii) \ (c) \ 0.021 \mu T$
Explanation: Here, $E =6.3 \hat{j} ; c =3 \times 10^8 m / s$
The magnitude of $B$ is
$B_{Z}=\frac{E}{c}=\frac{6.3}{3 \times 10^8}=2.1 \times 10^{-8} T=0.021 \mu T$
$OR$
$(a) 3.1 \times 10^{-8} T$
Explanation: At a particular point, $E =9.3 V m ^{-1}$
$\therefore$ Magnetic field at the same point $=\frac{9.3}{3 \times 10^8}$
$=3.1 \times 10^{-8} T$
$(iv) \ (b) \ E_y=66 \cos 2 \pi \times 10^{11}\left(t-\frac{x}{c}\right), B_z=2.2 \times 10^{-7} \cos 2 \pi \times 10^{11}\left(t-\frac{x}{c}\right)$
Explanation: Here : $E _0=66 Vm ^{-1}, E _y=66 \cos \omega\left(t-\frac{x}{c}\right)$,
$\lambda=3 mm=3 \times 10^{-3} m, k=\frac{2 \pi}{\lambda}$
$\frac{\omega}{k}=c \Rightarrow \omega=ck=3 \times 10^8 \times \frac{2 \pi}{3 \times 10^{-3}}$
$\text { or } \omega=2 \pi \times 10^{11}$
$\therefore E _{ y }=66 \cos 2 \pi \times 10^{11}\left(t-\frac{x}{c}\right)$
$B _{ z }=\frac{E_y}{c}=\left(\frac{66}{3 \times 10^8}\right) \cos 2 \pi \times 10^{11}\left(t-\frac{x}{c}\right)$
$=2.2 \times 10^{-7} \cos 2 \pi \times 10^{11}\left(t-\frac{x}{c}\right)$

When a charged particle is placed in an electric field, it experiences an electrical force. If this is the only force on the particle, it must be the net force. The net force will cause the particle to accelerate according to Newton's second law. So $\vec{\text{F}}_\text{e}=\text{q}\vec{\text{E}}=\text{m}\vec{\text{a}}$
If $\vec{\text{E}}$ is uniform, then $\vec{\text{a}}$ is constant and $\vec{\text{a}}=\text{q}\vec{\text{E}}\text{/ m.}$ If the particle has a positive charge, its acceleration is in the direction of the field. If the particle has a negative charge, its acceleration is in the direction opposite to the electric field. Since the acceleration is constant, the kinematic equations can be used.

Distance between two successive bright or dark fringes is called fringe width.
$\beta=\text{Y}_\text{n+1}-\text{Y}_\text{n}=\frac{(\text{n}+1)\lambda\text{D}}{\text{d}}-\frac{\text{n}\lambda\text{D}}{\text{d}}=\frac{\lambda\text{D}}{\text{d}}$
Fringe width is independent of the order of the maxima. If whole apparatus is immersed in liquid of refractive index $\mu$ then $\beta=\frac{\lambda\text{D}}{\mu\text{d}} \ ($fringe width decreases$)$. Angular fringe width $(\theta)$ is the angular separation between two consecutive maxima or minima
$\theta=\frac{\beta}{\text{D}}=\frac{\lambda}{\text{d}}$
