Answer:

The electric field is [tex]E = 5.25 V/m[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The peak magnitude of the magnetic field is  [tex]B = 17.5 nT = 17.5 *10^{-9}\ T[/tex]

Generally the peak magnitude of the electric field is mathematically represented as

         [tex]E = c * B[/tex]

Where c is the speed of light with value [tex]c = 3.0 *10^{8} \ m/s[/tex]

So

       [tex]E = 3.0 *10^{8} * 17.5 *10^{-9}[/tex]

       [tex]E = 5.25 V/m[/tex]

The peak magnitude of the electric field will be "5.25 V/m".

Magnetic field

According to the question,

Magnetic field's peak magnitude, B = 17.5 nT or,

                                                           = 17.5 × 10⁻⁹ T

Speed of light, c = 3.0 × 10⁸ m/s

We know the relation,

→ E = c × B

By substituting the values, we get

      = 3.0 × 10⁸ × 17.5 × 10⁻⁹

      = 5.25 V/m

Thus the above approach is appropriate.
