Question

multiple choice 1 point
which of the following statements are true about how energy is transferred through electric and magnetic fields? b
energy is transferred at a distance through magnetic fields, but must be transferred through contact in electric fields
energy is transferred through contact in both electric fields and magnetic fields
energy is transferred at a distance through both electric fields and magnetic fields
energy is transferred at a distance through electric fields, but must be transferred through contact in magnetic fields

Explanation:

Energy transfer through electric and magnetic fields occurs at a distance. Electromagnetic waves (which involve both electric and magnetic fields) transfer energy without the need for direct contact. For example, sunlight (an electromagnetic wave) travels through space (no contact in the traditional sense of matter - to - matter contact) to reach Earth and transfer energy.

Answer:

Energy is transferred at a distance through both electric fields and magnetic fields.
