An electron moving with a velocity v=(4.0i+3.0j+2.0k)106m/s enters a region where there is a uniform electric field and a uniform magnetic field. The magnetic field is given by v=(1.0i2.0j+4.0k)102T. If the electron travels through a region without being deflected, what is the electric field?
Radio waves normally have their E and B fields in specific directions, whereas visible light usually has its E and B fields in random and rapidly changing directions that are perpendicular to each other and to the propagation direction. Can you explain why?
Check Your Understanding Could a purely electric field propagate as a wave through a vacuum without a magnetic field? Justify your answer.
Check Your Understanding What conclusions did our analysis of Maxwell's equations lead to about these properties of a plane electromagnetic wave: (a) the relative directions of wave propagation, of the E field, and of B field, (b) the speed of travel of the wave and how the speed depends on frequency, and (c) the relative magnitudes of the E and B fields.
Why is it much easier to demonstrate in a student lab that a changing magnetic field induces an electric field than it is to demonstrate that a changing electric field produces a magnetic field?
The magnetic field between the poles of a horseshoe electromagnet is uniform and has a cylindrical symmetry about an axis from the middle of the South Pole to the middle of the North Pole. The magnitude of the magnetic field changes as a rate of dB/dt due to the changing current through the electromagnet, Determine the electric field at a distance r from the center.
A conducting sheet lies in a plane perpendicular to a magnetic field B that is below the sheet. If B oscillates at a high frequency and the conductor is made of a material of low resistivity, the region above the sheet is effectively shielded from B . Explain why. Will the conductor shield this region from static magnetic fields?
List the ways in which magnetic field lines and electric field lines the similar. For example, the field direction is tangent to the line at any point in space. Also list the ways in which they differ. For example, electric force is parallel to electric field lines, whereas magnetic force on moving charges is perpendicular to magnetic field lines.
The magnetic field at all points within the cylindrical region whose cross-section is indicated in the accompanying figure starts at 1.0 T and decreases uniformly to zero in 20 s. What is the electric field (both magnitude and direction) as a function of r, the distance from the geometric center of the region?
Certain orientations of a broadcast television antenna give better reception than others for a particular station. Explain.
A radio transmitter broadcasts plane electromagnetic waves whose maximum electric field at a particular location is 1.55103V/m . What is the maximum magnitude of the oscillating magnetic field at that location? How does it compare with Earth’s magnetic field?
In a region of space, the electric field is pointed along the x-axis, but its magnitude changes as described by Ex=(10N/C)sin(20x500t)Ey=Ez=0 where t is in nanoseconds and x is in cm. Find the displacement current through a circle of radius 3 cm in the x = 0 plane at I = 0.
