What must be the magnitude of a uniform electric field if it is to have the same energy density as that possessed by a 0.50 T magnetic field?

Respuesta :

Answer:

E = 1.50 × [tex]10^{8}[/tex] V/m

Explanation:

given data

B = 0.50 T

solution

we know that energy density by the magnetic field is express as

[tex]\mu _b = \frac{B}{2\mu _o}[/tex]   ...............1

and

energy density due to electric filed is

[tex]\mu _e = \frac{\epsilon _o E^2}{2}[/tex]     ...............2

and here [tex]\mu _b = \mu _ e[/tex]

so that

E = [tex]\frac{B}{\sqrt{\mu _o \times \epsilon _o}}[/tex]      ...................3

put here value and we get

[tex]E = \frac{0.50}{\sqrt{4\pi \times 10^{-7} \times 8.852 \times 10^{-12}}}[/tex]  

E = 3 × [tex]10^{8}[/tex]  × 0.50

E = 1.50 × [tex]10^{8}[/tex] V/m
