The electric and magnetic fields are in phase with each other, meaning that they reach their maximum and minimum values at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>The electric and magnetic fields of an electromagnetic wave are perpendicular to each other because they are generated by the motion of electric charges. When an electric charge moves, it creates an electric field. This electric field then creates a magnetic field. The magnetic field then creates an electric field, and so on. This process continues to create an electromagnetic wave that travels through space.<\/p>\n<p>The electric and magnetic fields of an electromagnetic wave are also perpendicular to the direction of the wave&#8217;s propagation because they are generated by the motion of electric charges. When an electric charge moves, it creates an electric field that is perpendicular to the direction of the charge&#8217;s motion. This electric field then creates a magnetic field that is perpendicular to the electric field and to the direction of the charge&#8217;s motion.
