$A$ plane electromagnetic wave of frequency $100 \, MHz$ is travelling in vacuum along the $x$-direction. At a particular point in space and time,$\overrightarrow{B} = 2.0 \times 10^{-8} \hat{k} \, T$ (where $\hat{k}$ is the unit vector along the $z$-direction). What is $\overrightarrow{E}$ at this point?

The magnetic field of a plane electromagnetic wave is given by $\vec B = B_0 \hat i \cos(kz - \omega t) + B_1 \hat j \cos(kz - \omega t)$,where $B_0 = 3 \times 10^{-5} \, T$ and $B_1 = 2 \times 10^{-6} \, T$. The rms value of the force experienced by a stationary charge $Q = 10^{-4} \, C$ at $z = 0$ is closest to:
