MHB Maxwell's equations for displacement current

Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the discharging current of a parallel plate capacitor with circular plates, given a displacement current of 2.0 A through a central area with radius R/2. Participants emphasize the importance of sharing progress or initial thoughts to facilitate effective assistance. The query remains focused on determining the relationship between the displacement current and the overall discharging current. The need for clear communication of prior attempts is highlighted to avoid redundant suggestions. Engaging with the community can lead to better guidance in solving the problem.

A parallel plate capacitor with circular plates of radius R is being discharged. The displacement current of discharge through a central circular area, parallel to the plates and with radius R/2, is 2.0 A. What is the discharging current?

Hi madggmiller! Welcome to MHB! (Smile)

We ask that our users show their progress (work thus far or thoughts on how to begin) when posting questions. This way our helpers can see where you are stuck or may be going astray and will be able to post the best help possible without potentially making a suggestion which you have already tried, which would waste your time and that of the helper.

Can you post what you have done so far?
 

Thread 'Significant figures for inherently bound values'

I have been insisting to my statistics students that for probabilities, the rule is the number of significant figures is the number of digits past the leading zeros or leading nines. For example to give 4 significant figures for a probability: 0.000001234 and 0.99999991234 are the correct number of decimal places. That way the complementary probability can also be given to the same significant figures ( 0.999998766 and 0.00000008766 respectively). More generally if you have a value that...
