Solution & Explanation
### Core Logic
Let's review the fundamental Maxwell's equations:
1. **Ampere - Maxwell Law** relates the magnetic path integral to conduction current and displacement current:
oint vecB cdot dvecl = mu_0 i_c + mu_0 varepsilon_0 fracdphi_Edt implies textA - IV$$\oint \vec{B} \cdot d\vec{l} = \mu_0 i_c + \mu_0 \varepsilon_0 \frac{d\phi_E}{dt} \implies \text{A - IV}$$
2. **Faraday's Law of Induction** states that changing magnetic flux induces an electromotive force (EMF):
oint vecE cdot dvecl = -fracdphi_Bdt implies textB - III$$\oint \vec{E} \cdot d\vec{l} = -\frac{d\phi_B}{dt} \implies \text{B - III}$$
3. **Gauss's Law for Electricity** relates net electric flux to enclosed charge:
oint vecE cdot dvecA = fracQvarepsilon_0 implies textC - I$$\oint \vec{E} \cdot d\vec{A} = \frac{Q}{\varepsilon_0} \implies \text{C - I}$$
4. **Gauss's Law for Magnetism** states that magnetic monopoles do not exist:
oint vecB cdot dvecA = 0 implies textD - II$$\oint \vec{B} \cdot d\vec{A} = 0 \implies \text{D - II}$$
### Step 1: Match Evaluation
The match configurations are:
* A rightarrow$\rightarrow$ IV
* B rightarrow$\rightarrow$ III
* C rightarrow$\rightarrow$ I
* D rightarrow$\rightarrow$ II
This perfectly corresponds to Option (3).
### Pattern Recognition
Understand the integral geometries: Path integrals (line integrals oint cdot dvecl$\oint \cdot d\vec{l}$) correspond to circulating fields (induction laws like Ampere/Faraday). Surface integrals (flux integrals oint cdot dvecA$\oint \cdot d\vec{A}$) correspond to bounded charge states (Gauss laws).

Q35jee_main_2026_21_jan_morningElectric and Magnetic Fields
The electric field a plane electromagnetic wave is given by :
E_y = 69 sin [ 0.6 times 10^3 x - 1.8 times 10^11 t ]text V/m.$$E_y = 69 \sin [ 0.6 \times 10^3 x - 1.8 \times 10^{11} t ]\text{ V/m}.$$
The expression for magnetic field associated with this electromagnetic wave is ____ T.
### Related Formula
B_0 = fracE_0c$$B_0 = \frac{E_0}{c}$$hatc = hatE times hatB$$\hat{c} = \hat{E} \times \hat{B}$$
### Core Logic
The phase of the wave is (0.6 times 10^3 x - 1.8 times 10^11 t)$(0.6 \times 10^3 x - 1.8 \times 10^{11} t)$. This indicates the wave propagates in the +x$+x$ direction, so hatc = hati$\hat{c} = \hat{i}$.
The electric field oscillates along the y$y$-axis, so hatE = hatj$\hat{E} = \hat{j}$.
From hatB = hatc times hatE$\hat{B} = \hat{c} \times \hat{E}$, we have hatB = hati times hatj = hatk$\hat{B} = \hat{i} \times \hat{j} = \hat{k}$.
So, the magnetic field is along the z$z$-axis (B_z$B_z$).
### Step 1: Calculate Amplitude of B
Wave speed v = c = fracomegak = frac1.8 times 10^110.6 times 10^3 = 3 times 10^8text m/s$v = c = \frac{\omega}{k} = \frac{1.8 \times 10^{11}}{0.6 \times 10^3} = 3 \times 10^8\text{ m/s}$.
The amplitude of the magnetic field is:
B_0 = fracE_0c = frac693 times 10^8 = 23 times 10^-8 = 2.3 times 10^-7text T$$B_0 = \frac{E_0}{c} = \frac{69}{3 \times 10^8} = 23 \times 10^{-8} = 2.3 \times 10^{-7}\text{ T}$$
The phase remains exactly the same as the electric field:
B_z = 2.3 times 10^-7 sin(0.6 times 10^3 x - 1.8 times 10^11 t)$$B_z = 2.3 \times 10^{-7} \sin(0.6 \times 10^3 x - 1.8 \times 10^{11} t)$$
### Pattern Recognition
B_0 = E_0/c$B_0 = E_0/c$ gives the magnitude. The vector identity hatB = hatv times hatE$\hat{B} = \hat{v} \times \hat{E}$ gives the direction. Phase part never changes sign or terms between E and B equations.

Q18jee_main_2025_02_april_eveningSpeed of Electromagnetic Waves
If mu_0$\mu_0$ and varepsilon_0$\varepsilon_0$ are the permeability and permittivity of free space, respectively, then the dimension of left(frac1mu_0varepsilon_0right)$\left(\frac{1}{\mu_0\varepsilon_0}\right)$ is:
### Related Formula
Maxwell's relation for the speed of light (c$c$) in vacuum:
c = frac1sqrtmu_0 varepsilon_0$$c = \frac{1}{\sqrt{\mu_0 \varepsilon_0}}$$
### Core Logic
Square both sides of the speed of light formula:
c^2 = frac1mu_0 varepsilon_0$$c^2 = \frac{1}{\mu_0 \varepsilon_0}$$
Since c$c$ represents the speed of light (velocity), its dimensional formula is:
[c] = [L T^-1]$$[c] = [L T^{-1}]$$
Therefore, the dimensions of c^2$c^2$ are:
[c^2] = [L T^-1]^2 = [L^2 T^-2]$$[c^2] = [L T^{-1}]^2 = [L^2 T^{-2}]$$
### Step 1: Match options
Express the dimensions in terms of the given variable ratios:
[c^2] = fracL^2T^2$$[c^2] = \frac{L^2}{T^2}$$
This perfectly matches Option (2).
### Pattern Recognition
Sees: Dimensions of vacuum permittivity-permeability inverse product.
Trap: Trying to find the separate dimensions of both mu_0$\mu_0$ and varepsilon_0$\varepsilon_0$, then conducting manual division. This is extremely slow and prone to algebraic error.
Shortcut: Directly identify the term as c^2$c^2$. The velocity squared has units of mathrmm^2mathrms^-2$\mathrm{m}^2\mathrm{s}^{-2}$, giving dimensions of mathrmL^2mathrmT^-2$\mathrm{L}^2\mathrm{T}^{-2}$ immediately.

Solution
### Related Formula
According to the Maxwell-Ampere law, displacement current I_d$I_d$ is defined as:
I_d = epsilon_0 fracmathrmdPhi_Emathrmdt$$I_d = \epsilon_0 \frac{\mathrm{d}\Phi_E}{\mathrm{d}t}$$
### Core Logic
Since I_d$I_d$ represents a physical current, its dimensions must match those of standard conduction electric current ([A]$[A]$ or [I]$[I]$).
### Step 1: Dimensional Analysis
Let us verify using fundamental dimensions:
- Permittivity of free space [epsilon_0] = [M^-1 L^-3 T^4 A^2]$[\epsilon_0] = [M^{-1} L^{-3} T^4 A^2]$
- Electric flux [Phi_E] = [M L^3 T^-3 A^-1]$[\Phi_E] = [M L^3 T^{-3} A^{-1}]$
- Time [t] = [T]$[t] = [T]$left[ epsilon_0 fracmathrmdPhi_Emathrmdt right] = [M^-1 L^-3 T^4 A^2] times frac[M L^3 T^-3 A^-1][T] = [A]$$\left[ \epsilon_0 \frac{\mathrm{d}\Phi_E}{\mathrm{d}t} \right] = [M^{-1} L^{-3} T^4 A^2] \times \frac{[M L^3 T^{-3} A^{-1}]}{[T]} = [A]$$
This confirms the quantity is dimensionally equivalent to Electric current.
### Pattern Recognition
Sees: epsilon_0 fracmathrmdPhi_Emathrmdt$\epsilon_0 \frac{\mathrm{d}\Phi_E}{\mathrm{d}t}$.
Shortcut: Instantly identify this as Maxwell's expression for displacement current. Displacement current has the exact same dimensions as regular conduction current.

### Related Formula
hatc = hatE times hatB$$\hat{c} = \hat{E} \times \hat{B}$$
where,
hatc$\hat{c}$ = unit vector in the direction of wave propagation
hatE$\hat{E}$ = unit vector of the electric field
hatB$\hat{B}$ = unit vector of the magnetic field
### Core Logic
Given that the wave propagates along the +x$+x$ direction:
hatc = hati$$\hat{c} = \hat{i}$$
Let us test the combination E_y$E_y$ and B_z$B_z$, which implies hatE = hatj$\hat{E} = \hat{j}$ and hatB = hatk$\hat{B} = \hat{k}$:
hatE times hatB = hatj times hatk = hati$$\hat{E} \times \hat{B} = \hat{j} \times \hat{k} = \hat{i}$$Propagation of Electromagnetic Waves diagram for Q8 - JEE Main 2025 Evening
This cross product yields exactly the direction of propagation +x$+x$. Therefore, E_y$E_y$ and B_z$B_z$ are appropriate components representing the cross-orthogonal vectors of the EM wave.
### Pattern Recognition
Always remember the cyclic relation hati rightarrow hatj rightarrow hatk$\hat{i} \rightarrow \hat{j} \rightarrow \hat{k}$. Since propagation is hati$\hat{i}$, our cross product must be hatj times hatk$\hat{j} \times \hat{k}$. Thus electric field along y$y$ matches magnetic field along z$z$.

Solution
### Related Formula
I_d = I_c = C fracdVdt$$I_d = I_c = C \frac{dV}{dt}$$C = fracepsilon_0 Ad = fracepsilon_0 pi r^2d$$C = \frac{\epsilon_0 A}{d} = \frac{\epsilon_0 \pi r^2}{d}$$
### Core Logic
Combining the current expression with capacitance relations yields:
I = left(fracepsilon_0 pi r^2dright) fracdVdt$$I = \left(\frac{\epsilon_0 \pi r^2}{d}\right) \frac{dV}{dt}$$
Isolating plate separation distance d$d$:
d = fracepsilon_0 pi r^2I cdot left(fracdVdtright)$$d = \frac{\epsilon_0 \pi r^2}{I} \cdot \left(\frac{dV}{dt}\right)$$
Substitute the parameters specified by the problem layout:
- r = 10mathrm~cm = 0.1mathrm~m$r = 10\mathrm{~cm} = 0.1\mathrm{~m}$
- epsilon_0 = 9 times 10^-12$\epsilon_0 = 9 \times 10^{-12}$
- pi = 22/7$\pi = 22/7$
- I = 0.15mathrm~A$I = 0.15\mathrm{~A}$
- fracdVdt = 7 times 10^8mathrm~V/s$\frac{dV}{dt} = 7 \times 10^{8}\mathrm{~V/s}$d = frac(9 times 10^-12) times left(frac227right) times (0.1)^20.15 times (7 times 10^8)$$d = \frac{(9 \times 10^{-12}) \times \left(\frac{22}{7}\right) \times (0.1)^2}{0.15} \times (7 \times 10^8)$$d = frac9 times 10^-12 times 22 times 0.01 times 10^80.15 = frac198 times 10^-40.15$$d = \frac{9 \times 10^{-12} \times 22 \times 0.01 \times 10^8}{0.15} = \frac{198 \times 10^{-4}}{0.15}$$d = 1320 times 10^-6mathrm~m = 1320mumathrmm$$d = 1320 \times 10^{-6}\mathrm{~m} = 1320\mu\mathrm{m}$$
