A parallel plate capacitor with circular plates of radius has a capacitance of . It is being charged by a source such that the potential difference across its plates is changing at a rate of . The magnitude of the induced magnetic field exactly at the outer edge of the capacitor plates is:
(Given )
(Given )
Options
- AZero
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
B.
Step-by-step solution
The displacement current between the capacitor plates is given by:
According to the Ampere-Maxwell law, the line integral of the magnetic field around the edge of the plates is equal to times the total displacement current enclosed:
Substituting the given values ():
Option 1 is incorrect as a changing electric field induces a magnetic field even in the absence of conduction current.
Option 3 is incorrect as it misses the factor in the denominator.
Option 4 is incorrect as it divides by the area instead of the circumference .
