An electromagnetic wave propagating in free space has an electric fieldamplitude of A:2 V/m. (a)Calculate the electric field between the plates and the magnitude anddirection of the electric force FE

exerted on each of the test chargesdue to that electric field.[8 Marks] (b)Calculate the magnitude and direction of the magnetic fieldsurrounding the wire at a distance r = 5cm from the wire. State the magnitude and direction of the magnetic force FM exertedon each of the test charges due to that magnetic field. (c)Combine the electric and magnetic forces to find the magnitude anddirection of the total force on each of the test charges.
