The electric field of an electromagnetic wave in free space is represented as $\vec{E} = E_0 \cos(\omega t - kz) \hat{i}$. The corresponding magnetic induction vector will be:

  • A
    $\vec{B} = E_0 C \cos(\omega t - kz) \hat{j}$
  • B
    $\vec{B} = \frac{E_0}{C} \cos(\omega t - kz) \hat{j}$
  • C
    $\vec{B} = E_0 \cos(\omega t + kz) \hat{j}$
  • D
    $\vec{B} = \frac{E_0}{C} \cos(\omega t + kz) \hat{j}$
