What is the value of B at the instant E reaches its maximum value?

In summary, the maximum electric field strength at a distance of 1.5 cm from the axis of a 4.0-cm-diameter superconducting solenoid, with a varying sinusoidal magnetic field between 8.0 T and 12.0 T at a frequency of 10 Hz, is 0.942 V/m. The value of B at the instant E reaches its maximum value can be found using the relationship E=cB, which can be derived from Maxwell's equations.

Homework Statement


The magnetic field inside a 4.0-cm-diameter superconducting solenoid varies sinusoidally between 8.0 T and 12.0 T at a frequency of 10 Hz.
Pt. 1--> What is the maximum electric field strength at a point 1.5 cm from the solenoid
axis?
Ans.- -> 0.942 V/m
Pt. 2--> What is the value of B at the instant E reaches its maximum value?


Homework Equations



E=cB

The Attempt at a Solution



.942/c=3.14*10^-9

Which is the wrong answer. I can't find any other relationships between E and B! Help please!

The link below has a number of relationships like

The value of B at the instant E reaches its maximum value can be found by using the equation E = cB and rearranging it to solve for B. This gives us B = E/c.

Since we know the maximum electric field strength is 0.942 V/m, we can plug this value into the equation to find the corresponding value of B. This gives us B = 0.942/c = 0.942/(3*10^8) = 3.14*10^-9 T.

Therefore, the value of B at the instant E reaches its maximum value is 3.14*10^-9 T.

It is important to note that the value of B will also vary sinusoidally between 8.0 T and 12.0 T at a frequency of 10 Hz, just like the electric field. So, at the instant when the electric field reaches its maximum value, the magnetic field will also have reached its maximum value.

I hope this helps clarify the relationship between E and B in this scenario.
 

What is the value of B at the instant E reaches its maximum value?

The value of B at the instant E reaches its maximum value can vary depending on the specific scientific experiment or scenario being studied.

How is the value of B related to the maximum value of E?

The value of B is often directly related to the maximum value of E, as both values are affected by the same factors or conditions in the experiment.

Can the value of B change after E reaches its maximum value?

Yes, the value of B can change after E reaches its maximum value if the conditions or variables in the experiment continue to change.

What factors can affect the value of B at the instant E reaches its maximum value?

The factors that can affect the value of B at the instant E reaches its maximum value can include temperature, pressure, concentration, and other external conditions.

How is the value of B determined in a scientific experiment?

The value of B is typically determined through careful observation and measurement in a controlled scientific experiment, using various tools and techniques such as data collection and analysis.
