Q.

The electric field in an electromagnetic wave is given as E=20sinω(t-xc)j^ NC-1

Where ω and c are angular frequency and velocity of electromagnetic wave respectively. The energy contained in a volume of 5×10-4 m3 will be

(Given ε0=8.85×10-12 C2/Nm2)               [2023]

1 28.5×10-13 J  
2 17.7×10-13 J  
3 8.85×10-13 J  
4 88.5×10-13 J  

Ans.

(3)

E=20sinω(t-xc)j^ NC-1

Average energy density of an EM wave=12ε0E02

Energy stored=(12ε0E02)(Volume)

          =12×8.85×10-12×(20)2×(5×10-4) J

           =8.85×10-13 J
