The equation of the electric field of an electromagnetic wave propagating through free space is given by : E = 377 (6.27 103 t - 2.09 10-5 x) N/C The average intensity of the electromagnetic wave is ( 1 ) W/m2. The value of α is . (Take 0 0 = 377 in SI units )
The electric field of a plane electromagnetic wave, travelling in an unknown nonmagnetic medium is given by, Ey = 20 (3 106 x - 4.5 1014 t ) V/m (where x, t and other values have S.I. units). The dielectric constant of the medium is (speed of light in free space is 3 108 m/s)
An electromagnetic wave of frequency 100 MHz propagates through a medium of conductivity, = 10 mho/m. The ratio of maximum conduction current density to maximum displacement current density is . [Take 14 0 = 9 109 N m2/C2]
If an optical medium possesses a relative permeability of 10 and relative permittivity of 10.0885, then the velocity of light is greater in vacuum than that in this medium by times. ( 0 = 4 10-7 H/m, 0 = 8.85 10-12 F/m, c = 3 108 m/s)
A parallel plate capacitor consisting of two circular plates of radius 10 cm is being charged by a constant current of 0.15 A. If the rate of change of potential difference between the plates is 7 108 V/s then the integer value of the distance between the parallel plates is (Take, 0=9 10-12 Fm, = 227) .
A time varying potential difference is applied between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor of capacitance 2.5 . The dielectric constant of the medium between the capacitor plates is 1 . It produces an instantaneous displacement current of 0.25 mA in the intervening space between the capacitor plates, the magnitude of the rate of change of the potential difference will be V s-1.
A parallel plate capacitor of area A=16 cm2 and separation between the plates 10 cm , is charged by a DC current. Consider a hypothetical plane surface of area A0=3.2 cm2 inside the capacitor and parallel to the plates. At an instant, the current through the circuit is 6A. At the same instant the displacement current through A0 is mA .
