Question:medium

The amplitude of the magnetic field of a plane electromagnetic wave travelling along positive x-axis in vacuum is 6 mT. A particle of charge 5 \(\mu\)C is travelling with a velocity of \(6\times10^{5}ms^{-1}\) along the positive y-axis. If the magnetic field is oriented along positive z-axis, then the maximum force exerted on the particle due to electric field of the wave is

Show Hint

For electromagnetic waves in vacuum, \[ \frac{E_0}{B_0}=c \] This relation is frequently used in JEE and NEET numerical problems involving EM waves.
