Answer

$E = 1.5\times 10^8~V/m$

Work Step by Step

We can write an expression for the energy density of a magnetic field: $u_B = \frac{B^2}{2~\mu_0}$ We can write an expression for the energy density of an electric field: $u_E = \frac{\epsilon_0~E^2}{2}$ We can equate the two expressions to find $E$: $u_E = u_B$ $\frac{\epsilon_0~E^2}{2} = \frac{B^2}{2~\mu_0}$ $E^2 = \frac{B^2}{\epsilon_0~\mu_0}$ $E = \frac{B}{\sqrt{\epsilon_0~\mu_0}}$ $E = \frac{0.50~T}{\sqrt{(8.854\times 10^{-12}~F/m)(4\pi\times 10^{-7}~H/m)}}$ $E = 1.5\times 10^8~V/m$
