Answer:

The magnetic field along the axis of a solenoid carrying a high-frequency alternating current changes continuously. Due to the change in the magnetic field, e.m.f (or eddy current) is induced in the metal rod. There will be flow of charge due to the induced e.m.f. The direction of the induced e.m.f changes very frequently due to the high-frequency alternating current in the solenoid. Thus, the rod gets heated up due to the flow of charge in it.

Answer:

No, an electromagnetic wave cannot be deflected by an electric field or a magnetic field. This is because according to Maxwell's theory, an electromagnetic wave does not interact with the static electric field and magnetic field. Even if we consider the particle nature of the wave, the photon is electrically neutral. So, it is not affected by the static magnetic and electric fields.

Answer:

When an alternating current passes through a conductor, the changing magnetic field create a changing electric field outside it. An electromagnetic field is radiated from the surface of the conductor. There is a time-varying electric field outside the conductor. Hence, there is a time-varying electric field in the vicinity of the wire.

Answer:

An electromagnetic wave is a transverse wave; thus, it can be polarised. An unpolarised wave consists of many independent waves, whose planes of vibrations of electric and magnetic fields are randomly oriented.

An unpolarised wave consists of many independent waves, whose planes of vibrations of electric and magnetic fields are randomly oriented. They are polarised by restricting the vibrations of the electric field vector or magnetic field vector in one direction only.

Answer:

Let the electromagnetic wave be propagating in the z-direction. The vibrations of the electric and magnetic fields are given by:
Ex= E0 sin (kz – ωt)
By= B0 sin (kz – ωt)
Let the volume of the region be V.
The angular frequency of the vibrations of the electric and magnetic fields are same and are equal to ω. Therefore, their frequency, f=ω2π, is same.
The electrical energy in the region,
UE= 120E2×V
It can be written as:
UE=120(E02sin2(kz-ωt)×VUE=120E02×1-cos2(kz-ωt)2×VUE=140E02×1-cos2(kz-ωt)×V
The magnetic energy in the region,
UB=B22μ0×VUB=B02sin2(kz-ωt)2μ0×VUB=B021-cos(2kz-2ωt)4μ0×V

The angular frequency of the electric and magnetic energies is same and is equal to 2ω.
Therefore, their frequency, f'=2ω2π=2f, will be same.

Thus, the electric and magnetic fields have same frequencies and the electrical and magnetic energies will have same frequencies.

Answer:

(d) deflects and gradually comes to the original position in a time that is large compared to the time constant

The compass needle deflects due to the presence of the magnetic field. Inside the capacitor, a magnetic field is produced when there is a changing electric field inside it. As the capacitor is connected across the battery, the charge on its plates at a certain time t is given by:
 Q = CV (1 -e-t/RC),
where
Q =  charge developed on the plates of the capacitor
R =  resistance of the resistor connected in series with the capacitor 
​C =  capacitance of the capacitor
V =  potential difference of the battery
The time constant of the capacitor is given, τ = RC
The capacitor keeps on charging up to the time τ. The development of charge on the plates will be gradual after t = RC. The change in  electric field will be up to the time the charge is developing on the plates of the capacitor. Thus, the compass needle ​deflects and gradually comes to the original position in a time that is large compared to the time constant.
