Physics · Displacement current, electromagnetic waves and their characteristics, transverse nature of electromagnetic waves
The electromagnetic waves do not transport
The electromagnetic waves do not transport
- A. energy
- B. charge
- C. momentum
- D. information
Step-by-step solution
Electromagnetic waves consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields and transport energy and momentum. They can also carry information, e.g., in communication. However, they do not transport charge because they are not composed of charged particles. Hence, charge is not transported.
