Two electromagnetic waves are moving in free space in 
and 
direction respectively whose electric field vectors are given by 
and 
. A charge q is moving with velocity 
. Find the net Lorentz force on this charge at 
and when it is at origin.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsB
Given that the magnetic field vectors are:
So the magnetic field vectors of the electromagnetic wave are given by
Then force is
Now if we put the values of 
and 
we can get the net Lorentz force as
Putting values and solving we get
Now at 
and 
we get
