The magnetic field vector of an electromagnetic wave is given by $\vec{B} = B_0 \frac{\hat{i} + \hat{j}}{\sqrt{2}} \cos(kz - \omega t)$,where $\hat{i}$ and $\hat{j}$ represent unit vectors along the $x$ and $y$-axes,respectively. At $t = 0 \, s$,two electric charges $q_1 = 4\pi \, C$ and $q_2 = 2\pi \, C$ are located at $(0, 0, \pi/k)$ and $(0, 0, 3\pi/k)$,respectively. Both charges have the same velocity $\vec{v} = 0.5c\hat{i}$,where $c$ is the speed of light. The ratio of the magnetic force acting on charge $q_1$ to that on $q_2$ is:

  • A
    $2\sqrt{2} : 1$
  • B
    $1 : \sqrt{2}$
  • C
    $2 : 1$
  • D
    $\sqrt{2} : 1$
