A magnetic field vector in an electromagnetic wave is represented by $\vec{B}=B_0\sin\left(2\pi vt-\dfrac{2\pi x}{\lambda}\right)\hat{j}$. Its associated electric field vector is ______.
A plane electromagnetic wave is moving in free space with velocity $c=3 \times 10^{8} \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ and its electric field is given as $\vec{E}=54 \sin (k z-\omega t) \hat{j} \mathrm{~V} / \mathrm{m}$, where $\hat{j}$ is the unit vector along $y$-axis. The magnetic field vector $\vec{B}$ of the wave is:
A charged particle moves in a uniform magnetic field. If the velocity is perpendicular to the field, the path of the particle is:
