Question
In an electromagnetic wave.
✓
Answer
- Power is transmitted in a direction perpendicular to both the field
For electromagnetic waves E and B are always perpendicular to each other and perpendicular to the direction of propagation. The direction of propagation is the direction of E × B.
The direction of propagation of the wave is the direction of propagation of its energy and power.
