MCQ
A plane electromagnetic wave with a single frequency moves in vacuum in the positive x direction. Its amplitude is uniform over the yz plane. the amplitude of its magnetic field.
- AIncrease
- BDecrease
- Csame
- DNone
✓
Answer
- same
Explanation:
The same amount of energy passes through equal areas parallel to the yz plane as the wave travels in the +x direction, so the amplitude and the intensity, which is proportional to the square of the amplitude, do not change.

Consider the two idealised systems: (i) a parallel plate capacitor with large plates and small separation and (ii) a long solenoid of length L > > R, radius of cross-section. In (i), E is ideally treated as a constant between plates and zero outside. In (ii), magnetic field is constant inside the solenoid and zero outside. These idealised assumptions, however, contradict fundamental laws as below:
