hello, could you help me with this is I don't understand. A plane electromagnetic wave varies sinusoidally at90.0 MHz as it travels through vacuum along the positive xdirection. The peak value of the electric field is 2.00 mV/m,and it is directed along the positive y direction. Find a) Write expressions in SI units for thespace and time variations of the electric field and of themagnetic field. Include both numerical values and unitvectors to indicate directions.
The arrangement illustrated in the figure below is composed of six finite straight wires of length l. The electric current flowing in such an arrangement is i. Using the Biot-Savart law, calculate: The magnitude of the magnetic field at point P due to the wire located along segment ab.The answer is in the second image. I am trying to use the standard biot-savart, which is B = (μ0*I/4π) * ∫dl * sinθ / r^2, and it always gives me 16*pi*l at the denominator, instead of 8pi*l. Solve it using B = (μ0*I/4π) * ∫dl * sinθ / r^2, and note that the image with the answer is correct.
We have a plane electromagnetic wave traveling in the +z direction. As you may recall, plane waves have electric and magnetic fields that vary like either sine or cosine, with an argument of (kz−ωt). Our goal here will be to write down the equations describing the electric and magnetic fields in this particular wave, and then use those equations to calculate a few quantities.Let's suppose that at z=0 and t=0, the magnetic field has its maximum value B0 and points in the −y direction. Use that information to decide whether your B -field should vary like sine or like cosine, and write a symbolic vector expression for B . Then write a symbolic vector expression for the E -field that would be in this wave. The definition of the Poynting vector will let you figure the direction of the E -field. A) The frequency of this wave is f=3.060e+06 Hz. What is the scalar value of the magnetic field at t=1.29e−07 s? You can still assume that z=0, and that B0 = .0056 T . For m answer I got .0059 T…

There is a vector defined by John Henry Poynting in 1884 whose direction gives the direction that an electromagnetic wave transmits its field energy and whose magnitude is the rate at which energy is being transmitted per square meter of the wavefront. For mutually perpendicular E- and B-fields in the wave, the magnitude of the Poynting vector is S =EB/mu0 and the direction is given by a right-hand rule, curling fingers from E vector and B vector. a) Carefully analyze the units of the Poynting vector and show that they are indeed watts per square meter. b) Find the intensity of the light in a beam of light whose electric field strength is 360 N/C and whose magnetic field is 1.2 muT.

A sinusoidal plane electromagnetic wave of frequency 20 GHz moves in the positive y direction and its electric field is directed along the z-axis. The amplitude of the electric field is 10 V/m.

Write the function that describes the electric field of the wave as a function of position y and time t. Hint: Among other things, you need to decide whether to use a cosine or sine function, and whether a negative sign is needed inside and/or outside the sine/cosine function. b. Explain why the electric field is not a function of the x or z coordinate. c. Find the function that describes magnetic field of the wave as a function of position y and time t.
