A circular parallel plate capacitor of radius is being charged such that the electric field between the plates changes at a uniform rate. Which of the following correctly describes the variation of the induced magnetic field with the radial distance from the central axis of the plates?
Options
- A increases linearly with for , and decreases as for .
- B is constant for , and is zero for .
- C is zero for , and decreases as for .
- D increases as for , and decreases as for .
Correct answer
A. increases linearly with for , and decreases as for .
Step-by-step solution
According to the Ampere-Maxwell law, the line integral of the magnetic field along a circular Amperian loop of radius is .
For a point inside the capacitor (), the enclosed displacement current is proportional to the area: .
Therefore, .
This shows that increases linearly with for .
For a point outside the capacitor (), the enclosed displacement current is the total displacement current .
Therefore, .
This shows that decreases as for .
Hence, the magnetic field increases linearly with inside the plates and decreases as outside the plates.
Answer: increases linearly with for , and decreases as for .
