Answer
(i) $E / B =c$, where $E =|\overrightarrow{ E }| ; B =|\overrightarrow{ B }|$ and $c=$ speed of light.
(ii) Electric and magnetic field vector $\vec{E}$ and $\vec{B}$ will be respectively along the Z -axis and X -axis. They will be perpendicular to the direction of transmission of wave.

A galvanometer has a resistance of $8 \Omega$ . It gives a full scale deflection for a current of $10 \ mA.$ It is to be converted into an ammeter of range $5 A.$ The only shunt resistance available is of $0.02 \Omega$ , which is not suitable for this conversion. Find the value of resistance $R$ that must be connected in series with the galvanometer $($Fig$.)$ to get ammeter of desired range.
