<p> Homework 9 Ch22: Q 1; P 1, 3, 19; Ch24: P 57, 59, 61</p><p>Question (Ch22):</p><p>1. The electric field in an EM wave traveling north oscillates in an east–west plane. Describe the direction of the magnetic field vector in this wave.</p><p>Solution If the direction of travel for the EM wave is north and the electric field oscillates east- west, then the magnetic field must oscillate up and down. For an EM wave, the direction of travel, the electric field, and the magnetic field must all be perpendicular to each other.</p><p>Problems (Ch22):</p><p>*1. (II) At a given instant, a 1.8-A current flows in the wires connected to a parallel- plate capacitor. What is the rate at which the electric field is changing between the plates if the square plates are 1.60 cm on a side?</p><p>Solution The current in the wires must also be the displacement current in the capacitor.
