electric and magnetic fields equally

Vedclass · Answer

Energy density due to electric field $=\frac{1}{2} \epsilon E^{2}$

Energy density due to magnetic field $=\frac{1}{2} \frac{B^{2}}{\mu}$

since $\frac{E}{B}=c=\frac{1}{\sqrt{\epsilon \mu}}$

Energy density is equally contributed to by electric and magnetic fields.

In an $E.M.$ wave the average energy density is associated with
