Solution

From question,

$\mathrm{B}_{0}=20 \mathrm{nT}=20 \times 10^{-9}\, \mathrm{T}$

($\because$  velocity of light in vacuum $\mathrm{C}=3 \times 10^{8}\, \mathrm{\,ms}^{-1}$) 

$ \overrightarrow{\mathrm{E}}_{0} =\overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}}_{0} \times \overrightarrow{\mathrm{C}} $

$ | \overrightarrow{\mathrm{E}}_{0} =|\overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}}| \cdot|\overrightarrow{\mathrm{C}}|=20 \times 10^{-9} \times 3 \times 10^{8} $

$=6 \,\mathrm{V} / \mathrm{m} $
