The magnetic field of a plane electromagnetic wave is given by $\vec B = B_0 \hat i \cos(kz - \omega t) + B_1 \hat j \cos(kz - \omega t)$,where $B_0 = 3 \times 10^{-5} \, T$ and $B_1 = 2 \times 10^{-6} \, T$. The rms value of the force experienced by a stationary charge $Q = 10^{-4} \, C$ at $z = 0$ is closest to:

  • A
    $0.9 \, N$
  • B
    $3 \times 10^{-2} \, N$
  • C
    $0.1 \, N$
  • D
    $0.6 \, N$
