Electric Field using Ampere's law

AI Thread Summary
To find the magnitude of the magnetic field at point P, 15.0 cm from the center of the circular area, Ampere's law can be applied, taking into account the changing electric field. The upward direction of the magnetic field is confirmed due to the right-hand rule, as the electric field is increasing outward. The rate of change of the electric field, 22.0 V/m·s, contributes to the induced magnetic field. The calculation involves using the relationship between the electric field and the magnetic field in a changing field scenario. Ultimately, applying Ampere's law will yield the required magnitude of the magnetic field at point P.

Consider the situation shown in Figure P24.1. An electric field of 300 V/m is confined to a circular area d = 11.0 cm in diameter and directed outward perpendicular to the plane of the figure. If the field is increasing at a rate of 22.0 V/m·s, what are direction and magnitude of the magnetic field at the point P, 15.0 cm from the center of the circle?


I know that the direction is upward but how do I find the magnitude?

Thanks.

You need to use Ampere's law, but judging by the simplicity of the problem, i am not sure if you have learned that topic yet.
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
