The Poynting vector describes a flow of energy whenever electric and magnetic fields are present.

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 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.

An electromagnetic wave from a wire antenna travels (from the reader) toward the plane of the paper. At time t = 0.0 s it strikes the paper at normal incidence. At point O and t = 0.0 s, the magnetic field vector has its maximum value, 5.01×10-8 T, pointing in the negative y-direction. The frequency of this wave is 1.17×106 Hz. What is the x-component of the associated electric field E at time t = 0.0 s? (Use the right-hand rule to determine the direction of E, and hence the sign of the x-component.)
