Question
A parallel-plate capacitor, made of two circular plates of radius R = 10 cm, is connected in series with a resistor of resistance R = 100 Ω and a battery of emf E = 10 V. What is the maximum value of the magnetic field induced by the displacement current between the plates, at a distance r = 5 cm from the axis of the plates while the capacitor is being charged?

Answer:
Explanation:
At the time when the capacitor starts charging , current through will be maximum .
Current in the circuit = 10 / 100 = .1 A .
This is called displacement current Id = .1 A .
magnetic field between the plates will be due to this displacement current .
Magnetic field lines will be circular in shape.
If B be the magnetic field , we shall apply ampere’s circuital law to find magnetic field due to displacement current at a distance of 5 cm from axis.
∫ B dl = μ₀ Id
B x 2π x .05 = 8.85 x 10⁻¹² x .1
B = 2.82 x 10⁻¹² T .
