Answer

$E_{rms}=614\frac{V}{m}$ $B_{rms}=2.05\mu T$

Work Step by Step

We know that $E_{rms}=\sqrt{\frac{I_{avg}}{c}}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $E_{rms}=\sqrt{\frac{1.00\times 10^3}{(3.00\times 10^8)(8.85\times 10^{-12})}}$ $E_{rms}=614\frac{V}{m}$ Similarly $B_{rms}=\frac{E_{rms}}{c}$ $B_{rms}=\frac{614}{3.00\times 10^8}=2.05\mu T$
