Question

The magnetic field in a travelling electromagnetic wave has a peak value of $$20\,nT.$$  The peak value of electric field strength is:

A. $$3\,V/m$$
B. $$6\,V/m$$  
C. $$9\,V/m$$
D. $$12\,V/m$$
Answer :   $$6\,V/m$$
Solution :
From question,
$$\eqalign{ & {B_0} = 20nT = 20 \times {10^{ - 9}}\;T \cr & \left( {\because {\text{velocity}}\,{\text{of}}\,{\text{light}}\,{\text{in}}\,{\text{vacuum}}\,C = 3 \times {{10}^8}\;m{s^{ - 1}}} \right) \cr & {{\vec E}_0} = {{\vec B}_0} \times \vec C \cr & \left| {{{\vec E}_0}} \right| = \left| {\vec B} \right|.\left| {\vec C} \right| = 20 \times {10^{ - 9}} \times 3 \times {10^8} \cr & = 6\,V/m \cr} $$
