A plane wave has an electric field amplitude of 10 V/m in free space. Its magnetic field amplitude is about

  • A.26.5 mA/m
  • B.377 A/m
  • C.3770 A/m
  • D.10 A/m

Answer: A

Dividing by the intrinsic impedance gives \( 10/377 = 2.65 \times 10^{-2} \) A/m. The great disparity in the numerical values is entirely an artefact of the units chosen, the two fields carrying equal energy densities in a plane wave.
