Vedclass · Answer

(C) The electric field is given by $\vec{E} = E_0 \sin \omega (t - \frac{x}{c}) \hat{j}$,where $E_0 = 20 	ext{ V/m}$.The average energy density $(u_{avg})$ of an electromagnetic wave is given by $u_{avg} = \frac{1}{2} \varepsilon_0 E_0^2$.The total energy $(U)$ stored in a volume $(V)$ is $U = u_{avg} 	imes V$.Substituting the given values:$U = \frac{1}{2} 	imes (8.85 	imes 10^{-12} 	ext{ C}^2/	ext{Nm}^2) 	imes (20 	ext{ V/m})^2 	imes (5 	imes 10^{-4} 	ext{ m}^3)$.$U = \frac{1}{2} 	imes 8.85 	imes 10^{-12} 	imes 400 	imes 5 	imes 10^{-4} 	ext{ J}$.$U = 8.85 	imes 10^{-12} 	imes 200 	imes 5 	imes 10^{-4} 	ext{ J}$.$U = 8.85 	imes 10^{-12} 	imes 1000 	imes 10^{-4} 	ext{ J}$.$U = 8.85 	imes 10^{-12} 	imes 10^{-1} 	ext{ J} = 8.85 	imes 10^{-13} 	ext{ J}$.Thus,the value is $8.85 	imes 10^{-13} 	ext{ J}$.
