Magnetic Field at a point between two capacitors

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the magnetic field between two parallel plate capacitors with given dimensions and a rate of potential increase. The user attempts to apply relevant equations, including the relationship between current, electric field change, and magnetic field. However, they encounter a discrepancy in their results, noting that their calculated magnetic field differs from the correct answer by a factor of 16. Clarification is sought regarding the interpretation of variables, specifically whether 'E' refers to electric field or voltage. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding the relationship between electric field and voltage in capacitor systems.

Homework Statement



A parallel plate capacitor has circular plates of radius 12.0 cm that are separated by a distance of 4.0 mm. The potential across the capacitor is increased at a constant rate of 1300 V/s. Determine the magnitude of the magnetic field between the plates at a distance r = 3.0 cm from the center.

Homework Equations



id = ε0A(dE/dt)

B = [μ0id/(2∏R2)]r

The Attempt at a Solution



id = ε0A(dE/dt)

dE/dt = 1300 V/s
A = ∏R2
R = 0.12 m
ε0 = 8.85E-12

id = 5.2E-10


B = [μ0id/(2∏R2)]r

r = 0.03 m
R = 0.12 m
id = 5.2E-10
μ0 = 1.26E-6

B = 2.17E-16

Correct answer is 3.39E-15

How do I get there?

Note that on the left you have the rate of change of E, but on the right you have the value of the rate of change of V.

[I get an answer that differs from the stated correct answer by a factor of 16.]
 
I thought E stood for Vemf. Does it stands for Electric field?
 
E is electric field.
 
Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'
Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
