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. The directions of E, B, and the wave propagation direction are related by the right-hand
rule.

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 .
