What is the relationship between the electric magnetic and wave velocity vectors?
Wiki User
∙ 14y ago
The wave velocity vector is parallel to the cross product of the electric and magnetic vectors.
If you crank a wood screw from the Electric-field direction to the Magnetic-field direction, the screw proceeds
into the wood in the direction of the wave's velocity vector.
Here's another advanced and highly technical way to keep these directions straight ...
Curl the fingers of your right hand in the direction FROM the electric vector TO the magnetic vector.
Your right thumb (when extended) points in the direction of the waves velocity vector, and also
the "Poynting Vector"; that's the direction in which the wave carries energy.

Which statement gives the relationship between the waves in the electric and magnetic fields in an electromagnetic wave?
They are in phase but perpendicular to each other in space.
What is the relationship between displacement and velocity?
velocity = displacement / time taken
What relation between electric current and drift velocity?
The relation between electric current and drift velocity is that they both happen to involve electrons moving opposite of the electric field. The electric field must also have a conductor.
What is the relationship between accerleration and velocity?
Acceleration is the rate of change of the magnitude of velocity and the direction in which the velocity changes.
What is the relationship between the mass and velocity of an object in uniform acceleration?
Momentum=mass*velocity
Phase relationship between oscillating electric and magnetic fields?
nothing
What is the relationship between electricity and magnetisum?
The magnetic field will be perpendicular to the electric field and vice versa.More DetailAn electric field is the area which surrounds an electric charge within which it is capable of exerting a perceptible force on another electric charge. A magnetic field is the area of force surrounding a magnetic pole, or a current flowing through a conductor, in which there is a magnetic flux. A magnetic field can be produced when an electric current is passed through an electric circuit wound in a helix or solenoid.The relationship that exists between an electric field and a magnetic field is one of electromagnetic interaction as a consequence of associating elementary particles.The electrostatic force between charged particles is an example of this relationship.

What is the relationship between accerleration and velocity?
Acceleration is the rate of change of the magnitude of velocity and the direction in which the velocity changes.
How can produce an electric current by means of electric magnetic induction?
Create relative motion between a magnetic field and a loop of wire.
What is difference between between electric dipole moment and magnetic dipole moment?
Magnetic dipole is due to two poles of magnet. Electric dipole is due to +ve and -ve charges of electric charges.
What is the relationship between velocity and acceleratioñ?
Acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes and the direction of the change.
What is the relationship between the mass and velocity of an object in uniform acceleration?
Momentum=mass*velocity
