Due to presence of an em-wave whose electric component is given by E=100sin⁡(ωt−kx)NC−1E=100 \sin (\omega t-k x) \mathrm{NC}^{-1} a cylinder of length 200 cm holds certain amount of em-energy inside it. If another cylinder of same length but half diameter than previous one holds same amount of em-energy, the magnitude of the electric field of the corresponding em-wave should be modified as

Multiple Choice Options

  • A 50sin⁡(ωt−kx)NC−150 \sin (\omega \mathrm{t}-\mathrm{kx}) \mathrm{NC}^{-1}
  • B 400sin⁡(ωt−kx)NC−1400 \sin (\omega \mathrm{t}-\mathrm{kx}) \mathrm{NC}^{-1}
  • C 200sin⁡(ωt−kx)NC−1200 \sin (\omega t-k x) \mathrm{NC}^{-1}
  • D 25sin⁡(ωt−kx)NC−125 \sin (\omega \mathrm{t}-\mathrm{kx}) \mathrm{NC}^{-1}

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

We know,

Energy density =12ε0E2C= {1 \over 2}{\varepsilon _0}{E^2}C

⇒EnergyVolume=12ε0E2C\Rightarrow {{Energy} \over {Volume}} = {1 \over 2}{\varepsilon _0}{E^2}C

⇒Energy=12ε0Ec2x vol\Rightarrow Energy = {1 \over 2}{\varepsilon _0}E_c^2x\,vol

Given that, (Energy)1=(Energy)2{\left( {Energy} \right)_1} = {\left( {Energy} \right)_2}

⇒12ε0E12cxπR12L1=12ε0E22cxπR22L2\Rightarrow {1 \over 2}{\varepsilon _0}E_1^2cx\pi R_1^2{L_1} = {1 \over 2}{\varepsilon _0}E_2^2cx\pi R_2^2{L_2}

⇒E12R12L1=E22R22L1 (as L1=L2)\Rightarrow E_1^2R_1^2{L_1} = E_2^2R_2^2{L_1}\,(as\,{L_1} = {L_2})

⇒E12R12=E22R22\Rightarrow E_1^2R_1^2 = E_2^2R_2^2

⇒E1R1=E2R2\Rightarrow {E_1}{R_1} = {E_2}{R_2}

⇒E1R1=E2(R12) (As R2=R12)\Rightarrow {E_1}{R_1} = {E_2}\left( {{{{R_1}} \over 2}} \right)\,\left( {As\,{R_2} = {{{R_1}} \over 2}} \right)

⇒E2=2E1=2×100\Rightarrow {E_2} = 2{E_1} = 2 \times 100

⇒E2=200 N/C\Rightarrow {E_2} = 200\,N/C

Hence, option (3) is correct.
