Homework Statement


There is a current of 20 A in a resistor that is connected in series with a parallel-plate capacitor. The plates of the capacitor have an area of 0.80 m2, and no dielectric exists between the plates. Find the value of the line integral B ∙ dl , where the integration path C is a 15-cm-radius circle that lies in a plane that is parallel with the plates and is completely within the region
between them.


Homework Equations


b = muI/2rPI,


The Attempt at a Solution



i changed dl to 2PIdr and integrated. ended up with something that included ln(0). it just seemed wrong. any help is appreciated :)
