Question

Would the wire not be affected by either the E or B fields becase it is parallel to the B field and perpendicular to the E field?

The E field points in the +y and - y direction. The B field points in the +z and -z direction, and the wave propagates toward the -x direction. Would the wire not be affected by either the E or B fields becase it is parallel to the B field and perpendicular to the E field? Suppose that the electromagnetic wave in question 1) is a radio wave. A long, thin conducting wire is placed in the path of the wave, and oriented parallel to the z-axis as shown. a) Q: As the wave propagates past the wire, would the electric field due to the radio wave cause the charges in the wire to move in a direction along the length of the b) Q: As the wave propagates past the wire, would the magnetic field due to the wave cause the charges in the wire to move in a direction along the length of the wire? Explain.

Explanation / Answer

part A:

Yes, due to the combined action both EF and magnetic field ,it gets some
force along alon x axis

part B :

Yes, due to the combined action both EF and magnetic field ,it gets some
force along alon x axis
