The correct answer is:
\( 2 \times 10^{-8} \mathrm{~T} \)
The electric field vector and magnetic field vector are related as
\[
\frac{E}{B}=c
\]
We know that \( c=3 \times 10^{8} \mathrm{~ms}^{-1} \) and it is given that \( E=6 \mathrm{Vm}^{-1} \) Therefore,
\( \frac{6}{B}=3 \times 10^{8} \Rightarrow B=\frac{6}{3 \times 10^{8}}=2 \times 10^{-8} \mathrm{~T} \)
Thus, magnetic field vector is \( 2 \times 10^{-8} \mathrm{~T} \).
