Thanks for your insights.

Once again, thanks for responding. So in answer to my questions 1. you are saying that as the capacitor drains, the sense of B is opposite to its sense when the capacitor is charging. Right? 2. Further, that there is no "resistance" to the decreasing electric flux (analogous to a back...

Thanks for the reply, but I don't think you quite understood my question. In this figure E is directed into the page and is increasing. By the right-hand rule the "induced B" is in a clockwise direction since dE/dt is in the same direction as the conduction current that's causing the...

First, some background. In Faraday's law the reluctance/resistance by "mother nature" to changing the magnetic flux is explicitly recognized by the "-" sign (commonly referred to as Lenz's law), i.e. if the time rate of change of the magnetic flux is positive, an emf is induced so as to oppose...
