MHB Maxwell's equations for displacement current

AI Thread 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 'Trigonometry problem of interest'

Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...

Thread 'Six Pencil Puzzle'

Is it possible to arrange six pencils such that each one touches the other five? If so, how? This is an adaption of a Martin Gardner puzzle only I changed it from cigarettes to pencils and left out the clues because PF folks don’t need clues. From the book “My Best Mathematical and Logic Puzzles”. Dover, 1994.
