SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the magnetic induction (B) at a distance r from the symmetry axis of a capacitor with circular plates of radius R and separation distance h, subjected to a voltage V. The analysis is divided into two cases: when r is much smaller than R (r<>R). Participants recommend applying Ampere's Law over a circular path centered on the symmetry axis and utilizing Gauss' Law for each case to derive the magnetic field effectively.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Ampere's Law
  • Familiarity with Gauss' Law
  • Knowledge of electric fields and magnetic induction
  • Basic concepts of capacitor operation and geometry
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the application of Ampere's Law in cylindrical coordinates
  • Research Gauss' Law and its implications for magnetic fields
  • Explore the relationship between electric fields and magnetic induction in capacitors
  • Investigate the effects of varying distances from the symmetry axis on magnetic induction
USEFUL FOR

Physics students, electrical engineers, and anyone interested in electromagnetic theory and capacitor behavior in electric fields.

problem:
A capacitor has circle plates with radius R. the plates are at a distance h. between the plates there is a tension V. Find B, magnetic induction, at a distance r from the symmetry axis of the capacitor. See diagram attached.

what I did:
I know it has to be studied in two different cases:
1. r<<R
2. r>>R

I know...

(1)V=\int E dl=Eh \longrightarrow E=\frac{V(t)}{h}

(2)\oint E dl=-\frac{d\phi(B)}{dt}

But then how to go on?
Please please please help...!

You would do better to use Ampere's law over a circular path centered on the symmetry axis. Then you'll have to use Gauss' Law in each of the two limiting cases.

Start off by writing down the above equation and see how far you can go.
