The direction of magnetic field vector in the
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Electromagnetic waves are composed of oscillating electric and magnetic fields perpendicular to each other and direction of propagation. These waves carry electromagnetic radiant energy.
Given:
Direction of propagation: North
Electric field vector oscillating in east west plane.
We know that the electric field and magnetic field are perpendicular to each other and to the direction of propagation therefore the magnetic field vector travels up and down perpendicular to the direction of propagation and electric field vector.
