Dielectric breakdown in air occurs when the electric field is approximately 3 × 106 V/m.What would be the peak magnetic field in an electromagnetic wave with this value for its peak electric field? in mT

Answer :

Answer:

10 mT

Explanation:

The relationship between electric field magnitude and magnetic field intensity in an electromagnetic wave is

[tex]E=cB[/tex]

where

E is the magnitude of the electric field

c is the speed of light

B is the magnitude of the magnetic field

In this problem, we have

[tex]E=3\cdot 10^6 V/m[/tex] is the electric field

[tex]c=3\cdot 10^8 m/s[/tex] is the speed of light

Solving the equation for B, we find

[tex]B=\frac{E}{c}=\frac{3\cdot 10^6 V/m}{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}=0.01 T=10 mT[/tex]
