Question

Energy associated with an electric field is analogous to _______ whereas the energy associated with the magnetic field is analogous to ________.

• A. kinetic energy, potential energy
• B. potential energy, potential energy
• C. potential energy, kinetic energy
• D. kinetic energy, kinetic energy

Answer 1

The correct option is C potential energy, kinetic energy

Energy associated with an electric field is analogous to potential energy whereas the energy associated with the magnetic field is analogous to kinetic energy. Since the electric field is produced by a static charge and the magnetic field by a moving charge. So the corresponding energy analogous are also potential and kinetic respectively.
