Parallel plate capacitor and magnetic field

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around solving a problem related to a parallel plate capacitor with a conduction current of 0.280 A. The main points include calculating the displacement current density, the rate of change of the electric field, and the induced magnetic fields at specified distances from the axis. Corrections were suggested for the calculations, particularly regarding the exponent in part B and the application of Ampere's law for parts C and D. The final values for the induced magnetic fields were provided as 7*10^-9 T for 2.0 cm and 3.5*10^-9 T for 1.0 cm, indicating a need for careful verification of calculations.

Homework Statement


A parallel plate air-filled capacitor is being charged as in figure. The circular plates have a radius of 4.0 cm, and at a particular instant the conduction current in the wires is .280 A.

A. What is the displacement current density (jD) in the air space between the plates?
B. What is the rate at which the electric field between the plates is changing?
C. What is the induced magnetic field between the plates at a distance of 2.0 cm from the axis?
D. What is the induced magnetic field between the plates at a distance of 1.0 cm from the axis?

The Attempt at a Solution


This is my solution as is...

A. i = .280 A
r = 4cm (.04m)
n = 3.14
jD=i/nr^2 (thats n*r squared)
=.28/3.14*.04^2
= 55.73 A

B. dE/dt=jD/ \epsilon (permitivitty constant)
= 55.73/8.85*10^-12
= 6.3*10^-12 N/Cs

C. B= ur/2nR^2 *i (u = mu) = (1.256*10^-6)(.04m)/2(3.14)(.02*.02)
= 2*10^-5 (.28)
= 5.6*10^-6

D. B=ur/2nR^2 (i) =(1.256*10^-6)(.04)/2(3.14)(.01*.01) (.28)
= 2.24*10^-13

answer a is correct but b, c, and d are not. I have tried this multiple times and can't figure out where I am going wrong. Any help would be appreciated.

Your exponent for part b is wrong... it should be +12.
 
I don't understand how you're doing c and d. Did you try to apply Ampere's law? Can you show the details?

You should use the conduction current + displacement current.
 
Also for part b), the equation should be:

\frac{d\phi}{dt}=\frac{jD}{\epsilon}

\frac{d(EA)}{dt}=\frac{jD}{\epsilon}

A\frac{dE}{dt}=\frac{jD}{\epsilon}

You know the area \pi{R}^2 where R = 0.04m, so you can calculate dE/dt.
 
correction: using B= (uo id/2piR^2) r
to find induced magnetic field inside a circular capacitor.

uo=mu
id=displacement current
pi=3.14
R^2= radius of plate squared
r= radius from center (point inside capacitor)

I have values
uo=1.256810^-6 (permeability constant)
id= .280
R= 4 cm
r(c)= 2cm
r(d)= 1 cm

plugging in the given values i get
part c= 7*10^-9
part d= 3.5*10^-9

does this look correct?
 
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
Thread 'Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them'
My initial calculation was to subtract V1 from V2 to show that from the perspective of the second aircraft the first one is -300km/h. So i checked with ChatGPT and it said I cant just subtract them because I have an angle between them. So I dont understand the reasoning of it. Like why should a velocity be dependent on an angle? I was thinking about how it would look like if the planes where parallel to each other, and then how it look like if one is turning away and I dont see it. Since...
Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'
The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
