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.

Answer

  1. (d) $\vec{\text{E}}=\text{B}_0\text{c}\sin(\text{Kx}+\omega\text{t}) \hat{\text{k}}\frac{\text{V}}{\text{m}}$
Explanation:
Given: $\vec{\text{B}}=\text{B}_0\text{c}\sin(\text{Kx}+\omega\text{t}) \hat{\text{k}}\frac{\text{V}}{\text{m}}$
The relation between electric and magnetic field is,
$\text{c}=\frac{\text{E}}{\text{B}}$ or E = cB
The electric 6 eld 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 $\vec{\text{E}}=\text{cB}_0\sin(\text{kx}+\omega\text{t}) \hat{\text{k}}\frac{\text{V}}{\text{m}}.$
  1. (c) $\frac{2\in_0}{\text{c}}\hat{\text{j}}\sin\text{kz}\sin\omega\text{t}$
Explanation:
$\frac{\text{dE}}{\text{dz}}=-\frac{\text{dB}}{\text{dt}}$
$\frac{\text{dE}}{\text{dz}}=-2\text{E}_0\text{k}\sin\text{kz}\cos\omega\text{t}=-\frac{\text{dB}}{\text{dt}}$
${\text{dB}}=+2\text{E}_0\text{k}\sin\text{kz}\cos\omega\text{t}{\text{dt}}$
${\text{B}}=+2\text{E}_0\text{k}\sin\text{kz}\int\cos\omega\text{t}{\text{dt}}$
$=+2\text{E}_0\frac{\text{k}}{\omega}\sin\text{kz}\sin\omega\text{t}$
$\frac{\text{E}_0}{\text{B}_0}=\frac{\omega}{\text{k}}=\text{c}$
$\text{B}=\frac{2\text{E}_0}{\text{c}}\sin\text{kz}\sin\omega\text{t}$
$\therefore\text{B}=\frac{2\text{E}_0}{\text{c}}\sin\text{kz}\sin\omega\text{t}\hat{\text{j}}$
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.
  1. (d) $0.021\mu\text{T}$
Explanation:
Here, $\vec{\text{E}}=6.3\hat{\text{j}};\text{c}=3\times10^8\frac{\text{m}}{\text{s}}$
The magnitude of B is:
${\text{Bz}}=\frac{\text{E}}{\text{c}}=\frac{6.3}{3\times10^8}$
$=2.1\times10^8\ \text{T}=0.021\mu\text{T}$
  1. (d) $\text{E}_\text{y}=66\cos2\pi\times10^{11}\Big(\text{t}-\frac{\text{x}}{\text{c}}\Big),\text{B}_\text{z}=2.2\times10^{-7}\cos2\pi\times10^{11}\Big(\text{t}-\frac{\text{x}}{\text{c}}\Big)$
Explanation:
Here: $\text{E}_0=66\text{Vm}^{-1},\text{E}_\text{y}=66\cos\omega\Big(\text{t}-\frac{\text{x}}{\text{c}}\Big),$
$\lambda=3\text{mm}=3\times10^{-3}\text{m},\text{k}=\frac{2\pi}{\lambda}$
$\frac{\omega}{\text{k}}=\text{c}\Rightarrow\omega=\text{ck}=3\times10^8\times\frac{2\pi}{3\times10^{-3}}$
or $\omega=2\pi\times10^{11}$
$\therefore\text{E}_\text{y}=66\cos2\pi\times10^{11}\Big(\text{t}-\frac{\text{x}}{\text{c}}\Big)$
${\text{Bz}}=\frac{\text{E}_\text{y}}{\text{c}}=\Big(\frac{66}{3\times10^8}\Big)\cos2\pi\times10^{11}\Big(\text{t}-\frac{\text{x}}{\text{c}}\Big)$
$=2.2\times10^{-7}\cos2\pi\times10^{11}\Big(\text{t}-\frac{\text{x}}{\text{c}}\Big)$
  1. (a) $3.1 \times 10^{-8}T$
Explanation:
At a particular point, $E = 9.3Vm^{-1}$
$\therefore$ Magnetic field at the same point $=\frac{9.3}{3\times10^8}$
$= 3.1 \times 10^{-8}T$

When a rectangular loop PQRS of sides' a' and' b' carrying current I is placed in uniform magnetic field B, such that area vector ii makes an angle 8 with direction of magnetic field, then forces on the arms QR and SP of loop are equal, opposite and collinear, thereby perfectly cancel each other, whereas forces on the arms PQ and RS of loop are equal and opposite but not collinear, so they give rise to torque on the loop.
