What are the directions of electric and magnetic field vectors relative to each other and relative to the direction of propagation of electromagnetic waves?     

Solution

Both electric and magnetic field vectors are perpendicular to each other and perpendicular to the direction of propagation.

A bar magnet is moved in the direction indicated by the arrow between two coils PQ and CD.

Predict the directions of induced current in each coil.

Solution

In the figure, N pole is receding away coil (1), so in coil (1), the nearer faces will act as S-pole and in coil (2) the nearer face will also act as S-pole to oppose the approach of magnet towards coil (2), so current in coils will flow clockwise as seen from the side of magnet. The direction of current will be from P to Q in coil (1) and from C to D in coil (2).
