The average intensity of sunlight reaching the earth is $1390 \mathrm{~W} / \mathrm{m}^{2}$. A charge of $2.6 \times 10^{-8} \mathrm{C}$ is placed in the path of this electromagnetic wave. (a) What is the magnitude of the maximum electric force that the charge experiences? (b) If the charge is moving at a speed of $3.7 \times 10^{4} \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$, what is the magnitude of the maximum magnetic force that the charge could experience?
