- Wave from a wire antenna Puntos:3 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, 4.84×10-8 T, pointing in the negative y-direction. The frequency of this wave is 1.83x106 Hz. B (t=0) 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.) 0.0886N/C The B-field and the E-field magnitudes are related via the speed of light.

It is obtained from the variation of the magnetic flux, for example, between the plates of a capacitor. II. The displacement current establishes a symmetry between the electric and magnetic fields by indicating that, just as the temporal variations of the magnetic field produce an electric field (Faraday's Law), it is possible that magnetic fields are created from temporal variations of the electric field . III. The displacement current was fundamental to the understanding that light is an electromagnetic wave. IV. Ampere's Law works independently of the existence of the Maxwell displacement current, as long as we consider only stationary electrical currents. Choose an option:A. II, III and IV correct.B. II and III correct.C. I, II and III correct.D. I, II and IV correct.E. I and IV correct.F. Only II is correct.G. All incorrect.H.
