MCQ
In an electromagnetic wave.
  • A
    Power is equally transferred along electric and magnetic fields
  • B
    Power is transmitted in a direction perpendicular to both the field
  • C
    Power is transmitted along electric field
  • D
    Power is transmitted along magnetic field

Answer

  1. Power is transmitted in a direction perpendicular to both the field

Explanation:

For electromagnetic waves E and B are always perpendicular to each other and perpendicular to the direction of propagation. The direction of propagation is the direction of E × B.

The direction of propagation of the wave is the direction of propagation of its energy and power.
