A parallel-plate capacitor with circular plates of radius 0.10mis being discharged. A circular loop of radius0.20mis concentric with the capacitor and halfway between the plates. The displacement current through the loop is2.0A. At what rate is the electric field between the plates changing?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The rate of the electric field between the plates changing is7.2×1012V/m.s

Step by step solution

01

Given data

Displacement current,id=2.0A

Circular plate radius,R=0.10m

ε0=8.85×10-12C2/N.m2

02

Determining the concept

In a parallel plate capacitor, the real current i,which charges the plates, changes the electric field E→between the plates. The fictitious displacement currentidbetween the plates is associated with that charging field,role="math" localid="1663155680805" E→. Therefore, we considerid=ε0AdE/dt. In this problem, area A is the area over which a changing electric field is present. Also, it is given that,r>R.

The formula is as follows:

id=ε0AdE/dt

where, idis the displacement current,Ais the area and,Eis the charging field.

03

Determining the rate of the electric field between the plates changing

To find the rate of electric field between plates with respect to the time,

id=ε0AdE/dt

dEdt=idε0A        =idε0πR2

Putting values,

dEdt=2.08.85×10-123.14(0.10)2         =7.2×1012V/m.s

Therefore, the rate of the electric field between the plates changing is 7.2×1012V/m.s.

The magnetic field of Earth can be approximated as the magnetic field of a dipole. The horizontal and vertical components of this field at any distance r from Earth’s center are given by BH=μ0μ4Ï€°ù3׳¦´Ç²õλm,Bv=μ0μ2Ï€°ù3ײõ¾±²Ôλmwhere lm is the magnetic latitude (this type of latitude is measured from the geomagnetic equator toward the north or south geomagnetic pole). Assume that Earth’s magnetic dipole moment has magnitudeμ=8.00×1022Am2 . (a) Show that the magnitude of Earth’s field at latitude lm is given byB=μ0μ4Ï€°ù3×1+3sin2λm

(b) Show that the inclinationÏ•i of the magnetic field is related to the magnetic latitudeλm by tanÏ•i=2³Ù²¹²Ôλm .

Prove that the displacement current in a parallel-plate capacitor of capacitanceCcan be written asid=C(dV/dt), whereVis the potential difference between the plates.

In Fig, a uniform electric field E⇶Äcollapses. The vertical axis scale is set by 6.0×105N/C, and the horizontal axis scale is set by ts=12.0μs. Calculate the magnitude of the displacement current through a 1.6m2area perpendicular to the field during each of the time intervals a,b, and cisshown on the graph.

Figure 32-25 represents three rectangular samples of a ferromagnetic material in which the magnetic dipoles of the domains have been directed out of the page (encircled dot) by a very strong applied field B0 . In each sample, an island domain still has its magnetic field directed into the page (encircled X ). Sample 1 is one (pure) crystal. The other samples contain impurities collected along lines; domains cannot easily spread across such lines.

The applied field is now to be reversed and its magnitude kept moderate. The change causes the island domain to grow. (a) Rank the three samples according to the success of that growth, greatest growth first. Ferromagnetic materials in which the magnetic dipoles are easily changed are said to be magnetically soft; when the changes are difficult, requiring strong applied fields, the materials are said to be magnetically hard. (b) Of the three samples, which is the most magnetically hard?

At what rate must the potential difference between the plates of a parallel-plate capacitor with a2.0μF capacitance be changed to produce a displacement current of1.5A?
