A 10A current is charging a 1.0-cm-diameter parallel-plate capacitor.

a. What is the magnetic field strength at a point 2.0mmradially from the center of the wire leading to the capacitor?

b. What is the magnetic field strength at a point localid="1650010280999" 2.0mmradially from the center of the capacitor?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) The magnetic field strength at a point 2.0mmradially from the center of the wire leading to the capacitor isB=0.001T.

b) The magnetic field strength at a point2.0mmradially from the center of the capacitor isB=16×10-5T.

Step by step solution

01

Part(a) Step 1: Given information

We are given that Current I=10A

Radius of platelocalid="1650010296361" R=0.5×10-2m

02

Part(a) Step 2: Simplify

Magnetic field strength due to current carrying conductor from the center of the wire.

B=μoI2πrr=4π×10-7×102π×2×10-3=10-3T

B=0.001T

03

Part(b) Step 1: Given information

We are given thatI=10A

r=2×10-3cm

R=0.5×10-2cm

04

Part(b) Step 2: Simplify

Magnetic field from the center of capacitor

B=μoIr2πR2=4π×10-7×10×2×10-32π×(0.5×10-2)2

B=16×10-5T
