 ( \varepsilon_0 -  permittivityof freespace , \mu_0 - permeability of free space)

 

Option: 1

\mathrm{U}_{\mathrm{E}}=\frac{\epsilon_0 \mathrm{E}^2}{2}, \mathrm{U}_{\mathrm{B}}=\frac{\mathrm{B}^2}{2 \mu_0}


Option: 2

\mathrm{U}_{\mathrm{E}}=\frac{\mathrm{E}^2}{2 \epsilon_0}, \mathrm{U}_{\mathrm{B}}=\frac{\mu_0 \mathrm{~B}^2}{2}


Option: 3

\mathrm{U}_{\mathrm{E}}=\frac{\mathrm{E}^2}{2 \epsilon_0}, \mathrm{U}_{\mathrm{B}}=\frac{\mathrm{B}^2}{2 \mu_0}


Option: 4

\mathrm{U}_{\mathrm{E}}=\frac{\epsilon_0 \mathrm{E}^2}{2}, \mathrm{U}_{\mathrm{B}}=\frac{\mu_0 \mathrm{~B}^2}{2}

By theory of electromagnetic waves

\mathrm{U}_{\mathrm{E}}=\frac{1}{2} \varepsilon_0 \mathrm{E}^2    and 

\mathrm{U}_{\mathrm{B}}=\frac{1}{2} \frac{\mathrm{B}^2}{\mu_0}
