Question 15

The energy density associated with electric field $$\vec{E}$$ and magnetic field $$\vec{B}$$ of an electromagnetic wave in free space is given by ($$\varepsilon_0$$ - permittivity of free space, $$\mu_0$$ - permeability of free space)

The energy density stored in an electric field $$E$$ in a vacuum is given by:   $$U_E = \frac{1}{2}\varepsilon_0 E^2$$

The energy density stored in a magnetic field $$B$$ in a vacuum is given by:   $$U_B = \frac{B^2}{2\mu_0}$$

These two terms represent the instantaneous energy components carried by the wave fields through free space
