Answer the following question given this paragraph: There is an associated magnetic field ( B ) which propagates outward as well (see Figure 24.6). The electric and magnetic fields are closely related and propagate as an electromagnetic wave. This is what happens in broadcast antennae such as those in radio and TV stations. Closer examination of the one complete cycle shown in Figure 24.5 reveals the periodic nature of the generator-driven charges oscillating up and down in the antenna and the electric field produced. At time t = 0 , there is the maximum separation of charge, with negative charges at the top and positive charges at the bottom, producing the maximum magnitude of the electric field (or E -field) in the upward direction. One-fourth of a cycle later, there is no charge separation and the field next to the antenna is zero, while the maximum. Q: The electric and magnetic fields are closely related and propagate as what? A:
Available options: (I). mechanical wave; (II). thermal energy; (III). sound wave; (IV). electromagnetic wave;
(IV).
