The magnitude of the density of this displacement current is ${\mathit{J}}_{\mathbf{d}}\mathbf{=}\mathbf{(}\raisebox{1ex}{$\mathbf{4}\mathbf{}\mathbf{A}\mathbf{/}{\mathbf{m}}^{\mathbf{2}}\mathbf{)}$}\!\left/ \!\raisebox{-1ex}{$\mathbf{(}\mathbf{1}\mathbf{-}\mathbf{r}\mathbf{/}\mathbf{R}\mathbf{)}$}\right.$, where is the radial distance $\left(r\le R\right)$.(a) What is the magnitude of the magnetic field due to displacement current at $\mathbf{2}\mathbf{cm}$?(b)What is the magnitude of the magnetic field due to displacement current at$\mathbf{5}\mathbf{cm}$ ?

1. Displacement current density $J_d=\left(\raisebox{1ex}{$4\mathrm{A}/{\mathrm{m}}^2$}\!\left/ \!\raisebox{-1ex}{$(1-\mathrm{r}/\mathrm{R})$}\right.\right)$,
2. The radius of the circular region $R=3\mathrm{cm}\times \frac{1\mathrm{m}}{100\mathrm{cm}}=3\times {10}^{-2}\mathrm{m}$,
3. Radial distances at which the magnetic field is induced $r_1=2\mathrm{cm}x\frac{1}{100\mathrm{m}}=0.02\mathrm{m}$$r_2=5\mathrm{cm}x\frac{1}{100\mathrm{m}}=0.05\mathrm{m}$,

When a conductor is placed in a region of changing magnetic field, it induces a displacement current that starts flowing through it as it causes the case of an electric field produced in the conductor region. According to Lenz law, the current flows through the conductor such that it opposes the change in magnetic flux through the area enclosed by the loop or the conductor. The magnitude of the magnetic field is due to the displacement current using the displacement current density which is non-uniformly distributed.

Formulae:

The magnetic field at a point inside the capacitor,$B=\left(\frac{{\mu }_0{i}_{d}r}{2\pi R^2}\right)$ (i)

where, $B$is the magnetic field, ${\mu }_0=(4\pi x{10}^{-7}\mathrm{T}.\mathrm{m}/\mathrm{A})$is the magnetic permittivity constant, $r$is the radial distance, $i_d$is the displacement current, $R$is the radius of the circular region.

The magnetic field at a point outside the capacitor, $B=\left(\frac{{\mu }_0{i}_d}{2\pi r}\right)$ (ii)

Where, ${\mu }_0=(4\pi x{10}^{-7}\mathrm{T}.\mathrm{m}/\mathrm{A})$is the magnetic permittivity constant , $r$is the radial distance, $i_d$is the displacement current.

The current flowing in a given region for non-uniform electric field, $i_{d,enc}={\int }_0^{r}J\left(2\pi r\right)dr$ (iii)

Where, $J$is the current density of the material, $r$is the radial distance of the circular region, $dr$is the differential form of the radial distance.

The displacement current density is non-uniform. Hence, the displacement current is determined by taking the integration over the closed path of radius $r,r_1=0.02\mathrm{m},{\mathrm{r}}_1<\mathrm{R}$and that is given using the given data in equation (i) as follows:

$$\begin{gathered} i_{d,enc}={\int }_0^r(4.00\mathrm{A}/{\mathrm{m}}^2)(1-r/R)\left(2\pi r\right)dr \\ {i}_{d,enc}=(8\pi \mathrm{A}/{\mathrm{m}}^2){\int }_0^{\mathrm{r}}(\mathrm{r}-{\mathrm{r}}^2/\mathrm{R})\mathrm{dr} \\ {\mathrm{i}}_{\mathrm{d},\mathrm{enc}}=(8\mathrm{\pi A}/{\mathrm{m}}^2)\left(\frac{{\mathrm{r}}^2}{2}-\frac{{\mathrm{r}}^3}{3\mathrm{R}}\right) \\ {\mathrm{i}}_{\mathrm{d},\mathrm{enc}}=(8\mathrm{\pi A}/{\mathrm{m}}^2)\left(\frac{{\left(0.02\mathrm{m}\right)}^2}{2}-\frac{{\left(0.02\mathrm{m}\right)}^3}{3\times 0.03\mathrm{m}}\right) \\ {\mathrm{i}}_{\mathrm{d},\mathrm{enc}}=2.79\times {10}^{-3}\mathrm{A} \end{gathered}$$…………………………….. (I)

The integral is limited to . Hence, by taking in equation (i), the magnetic field can be determined as follows:

$$\begin{gathered} B=\frac{{\mu }_0{i}_d{r}_1}{2\pi r_1^2} \\ B=\frac{{\mu }_0{i}_d}{2\pi r_1} \\ B=\frac{\left(4\pi \times {10}^{-7}\mathrm{T}.\mathrm{m}/\mathrm{A}\right)\left(2.79\times {10}^{-3}\mathrm{A}\right)}{2\pi \times \left(0.02\mathrm{m}\right)} \\ B=2.79\times {10}^{-7}\mathrm{T} \\ \mathrm{B}=2.79\mathrm{nT} \end{gathered}$$

Therefore, the magnitude of the magnetic field due to displacement currentat a radial distance$R=2.0\mathrm{cm}$ is$B=27.9\mathrm{nT}$ .
