Question
Which Maxwell equation describes the generation of an electric field by a changing magnetic field?
Explanation
**Aerials produce radio waves** by rapid acceleration/deceleration of electrons in antenna driven by AC, frequency equals driving frequency, for 60 MHz, λ=c/f=3×10⁸/60×10⁶=5 m, half-wave antenna length λ/2=2.5 m, efficient radiation when antenna size comparable to λ. Faraday's Law, as expressed in Maxwell's equations, states that a changing magnetic field induces an electric field: oint E · d l = -(d Φ_B/d t) . Using c = fλ, E₀/B₀ = c, I_d = ε₀ dΦ_E/dt, and spectrum classification λ = c/f, evaluation yields Faraday's Law, illustrating EM wave transverse nature and Maxwell's displacement current concept.
