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 'Area of Overlapping Squares'

Here is a little puzzle from the book 100 Geometric Games by Pierre Berloquin. The side of a small square is one meter long and the side of a larger square one and a half meters long. One vertex of the large square is at the center of the small square. The side of the large square cuts two sides of the small square into one- third parts and two-thirds parts. What is the area where the squares overlap?
