Explanation of Solution
The electric and magnetic fields vary in space with time t. The electric field E(x,t) and the magnetic field B(x,t) are represented by the following equations.
E(x,t)=Emaxsin(kx−ωt) (I)
B(x,t)=Bmaxsin(kx−ωt) (II)
Here, Emax is the amplitude of the electric field, Bmax is the amplitude of the magnetic field, k is the wave number and ω is the angular frequency of the wave.
Write the given expression for the electric field.
E(x,t)=3.75sin(kx−0.094t) V/m
Compare the above expression with the equation (I).
Emax=3.75 V/mω=0.094 rad/s
Write the expression for the time period T.
T=2πω
Substitute 0.094 rad/s for ω in the above equation.
T=2π0.094 rad/s=66.8 s
Write the expression for electric energy density μE.
μE=12ε0[E(x,t)]2
Here, ε0 is the permittivity of free space and E(x,t) is the electric field.
Substitute equation (I) in the above equation and 8.85×10−12 C2N−1m−2 for ε0 to find μE.
μE=12(8.85×10−12 C2N−1m−2)[3.75sin(kx−0.094t) V/m]2=(6.22×10−11 J/m3)sin2(kx−0.094t)
Calculate the values of μE at x=0 for time t=0,5 s,10 s,15 s....
t (in s) | μE (in J/m3 ) |
0 | 0 |
5 | 1.27×10−11 |
10 | 4.05×10−11 |
15 | 6.06×10−11 |
20 | 5.64×10−11 |
25 | 3.15×10−11 |
30 | 6.21×10−12 |
35 | 1.36×10−12 |
40 | 2.09×10−11 |
45 | 4.88×10−11 |
50 | 6.22×10−11 |
55 | 5.00×10−11 |
60 | 2.23×10−11 |
65 | 1.84×10−12 |
70 | 5.32×10−12 |
Plot the graph by taking uE on the y-axis and t on x-axis.
Figure-(1)
Write the expression for the amplitude of the magnetic field.
Bmax=Emaxc
Here, c is the speed of light, Bmax is the amplitude of magnetic field and Emax is the amplitude of electric field.
Substitute 3.75 V/m for Emax and 3×108 m/s for c in the above equation to find Bmax.
Bmax=3.75 V/m3×108 m/s=1.25×10−8 T
Substitute 1.25×10−8 T for Bmax and 0.094 rad/s for ω in equation (II) to find B(x,t).
B(x,t)=(1.25×10−8)sin(kx−0.094t) T (III)
Write the expression for the magnetic energy density of the wave.
μB=[B(x,t)]22μ0
Here, μ0 is the permeability of free space and B(x,t) is the magnetic field.
Substitute equation (III) and 4π×10−7 T.m/A for μ0 in the above equation to find μB.
μB=[(1.25×10−8)sin(kx−0.094t)T]22(4π×10−7T.m/A)=(6.22×10−11 J/m3)sin2(kx−0.094t)
Since, the expressions for the electric energy density and magnetic energy density are same. Therefore, the graph for magnetic energy density is same as that for electric energy density.
Hence, the graph for magnetic energy density with time is as shown.
