The average energy stored in the electric field, Uₑ = 1/2 ε₀E². The average energy stored in the magnetic field = 1/2 B²/μ₀. According to conservation of energy Uₑ = Uᵦ.
- Uₑ = 1/2 ε₀E².
- Uᵦ = 1/2 B²/μ₀.
- Uₑ = Uᵦ.
- B/E = √ε₀μ₀ = 1/c.
Correct answer: B/E = √ε₀μ₀ = 1/c.
Solution
The relationship B/E = √ε₀μ₀ = 1/c is derived from Maxwell's equations, linking the electric and magnetic fields in an electromagnetic wave. This ensures energy conservation in the wave.
