Question

A rocket zooms past the earth at U 2.0 × 106 m/s. Scientists on the rocket have created the electric and magnetic felds shown in the figure.(Figure 1) Assume that B = 0.90 T and E = 9.0x 105 V/m Part A What is the electric field strength measured by an earthbound scientist? Express your answer using two significant figures. In Submit Part B gure 1 of > What is the direction of the electric field measured by an earthbound scientist? O Up O Down O Left O Right 2.0 × 106 m/s Into the page O Out of the page Submit t Ans

Explanation / Answer

given that v = 2*10^6 i m/s

B' = 0.9 j T

E' = 9*10^5 k V/m

let this EF E' and Magnetic filed B' be existing in the S' frame, then E and B in S frame is given by

E = E'-(V x B)

B = B'+(V x B/c^2)

E and B are measured from the equations

E = 9*10^5-(2*10^6)* 0.9 = 0.9*10^6 - 1.8*10^6 = -0.9*10^6 k V/m (answer)

now B = B+(V x B/c^2)

B = 0.9 T + ( 2*10^6 *9*10^5/3*3*10^16)

B = 0.9 - 0.02

B = 0.88 j T (answer)
