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) .

Due to presence of an em-wave whose electric component is given by E = 100 ( t - kx) NC-1 a cylinder of length 200 cm holds certain amount of em-energy inside it. If another cylinder of same length but half diameter than previous one holds same amount of em-energy, the magnitude of the electric field of the corresponding em-wave should be modified as

1. 50 ( t - kx) NC-1
2. 400 ( t - kx) NC-1
3. 200 ( t - kx) NC-1
4. 25 ( t - kx) NC-1

The magnetic field of an E.M. wave is given by B = ( 32 i + 12 j )30 [ (t - zc ) ] (S.I. Units). The corresponding electric field in S.I. units is:
