Final answer:
The value of H₀ is 3x 10⁻³ and the value of a is 1.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given expressions for the magnetic field strengths are:
H(R,t)=a∅H₀ cos(wt - kR) (A/m)
H∝ (R,t)= a∅ 10⁻³ sin(wt - kR) (A/m)
H₂ (R,t) = a∅ 3x 10⁻³ sin(wt - kR + a) (A/m)
To find the values of H₀ and a, we need to consider the sum of their areas.
Since the area under a sinusoidal wave is proportional to its amplitude, we can equate the areas of H and H₂:
a∅H₀ = a∅ (3x 10⁻³)
Thus, H₀ = 3x 10⁻³
Similarly, to find the value of a, we can equate the areas of H and H∝:
a∅H₀ = a∅ (10⁻³)
Therefore, a = 1.
