Is it a magnetic or an electric field that causes induction in the antenna
wiki says that:
The electric field (E, green arrows) of the incoming wave pushes the electrons in the rods back and forth, charging the ends alternately positive (+) and negative (−). enter image description here but isn't it a magnetic field that makes a charge oscillate?
I am adding a picture, can you please explain how it should work? the wave propagates on the x axis, how do we know that there is an electric field/ potential on the wave in the z axis? enter image description here
