Homework Statement



Just wondering if I were to plot the magnetic field strength as a function of time of an RC circuit if they would be related through the time constant in the current (I = Ioe^-t/RC)?

In general, the magnetic field is proportional to the current that generates it. That's the Biot-Savart Law or one of Maxwell's equations. So yes.
