A circular parallel plate capacitor of radius is being charged, establishing a uniform displacement current between its plates. What is the ratio of the magnitude of the induced magnetic field at a radial distance to that at a radial distance from the central axis of the capacitor?
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
B.
Step-by-step solution
Let the total displacement current be .
For a point inside the region between the capacitor plates (), the magnetic field is given by Ampere-Maxwell's law:
At :
For a point outside the region between the plates (), the magnetic field is:
At :
The ratio of the magnetic fields is:
Thus, the required ratio is .
