| The Electric Field Of An EM Wave
Forum List | Follow Ups | Post Message | Back to Thread Topics Posted by R R Riepen on January 26, 2000 03:28:19 UTC |
An oscillating charge in an antenna creates an electromagnetic wave that continues to propagate after the power to the antenna is turned off. But this EM wave itself consists of oscillating E and B fields. If the E field of the EM wave is oscillating in the Z direction then even after the E field strength goes to zero wouldn't the already created E field continue to spatially propagate in the z direction? Can a distant charged particle feel the effect of the E field created by the time varying B field in the EM wave? |
