What is the Line Integral of Magnetic Field in a Parallel-Plate Capacitor?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the line integral of the magnetic field (B) in a parallel-plate capacitor with a current of 20 A and an area of 0.80 m². The integration path is a circle with a 15-cm radius, located between the capacitor plates. A participant initially struggled with the integration process, leading to an incorrect result involving ln(0). The conversation highlights the importance of understanding displacement current in this context. Ultimately, clarification on the concept helped resolve the confusion.

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 :)

thanks i understand it now :)
 
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 .
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
