Understanding the concept of a parallel-plate capacitor

When two conducting plates are arranged parallel insulated to each other with a gap filled with a dielectric material, they act as parallel-plate capacitors. The plates conduct the flow of current such that it stores some amount of charge within their dielectric space, thus, they act as electrodes. The capacitor is constructed with the view of storing some amount of electric energy that is further used to provide the circuit with the required amount of energy when needed.

Formulae:

The amount of current flow with a circuit, i=dqdt (i)

where, qis amount of the charge flowing through the material, and is time of charging.

The magnetic flux equation according to Ampere鈥檚 law, B.ds=0i (ii)

where, iis current, Bis magnetic induction, dsis the area of the enclosed region 0=410-7T.m/Ais the magnetic permittivity constant.

The amount of charge stored within the capacitor, q=CV (iii)

where, Cis the capacitance of the capacitor, Vis the potential difference between the plates.

The capacitance of a capacitor,C=0Ad (iv)

where, 0=8.8510-12C2/N.m2is the permittivity in vacuum, A is the area of the plates, dis the separation between the plates.

(a) Determining the displacement current

The electric field between the plates in a parallel-plate capacitor is changing, so there

is a nonzero displacement current between the plates.

Let,Abe the area of a plate and E be the magnitude of the electric field between the plates.

The field between the plates is uniform, so the magnitude of the electric field can be given as:E=V/d

where, Vis the potential difference across the plates, and dis the plate separation. The current flowing into the positive plate of the capacitor can be given by substituting the charge value of equation (iii) and capacitance value of equation (iv) in equation (i) as follows:

i=dCVdt=CdVdt=0AddEddtE=V/dand using equation (iv)=0AdEdt=0dEdtElectric flux in the region,E=EA.....................(I)

which has the same value as the displacement current formula, that is given as:

The displacement current through the wire, id=0dEdt

where, 0=8.8510-12C2/N.m2is the permittivity in vacuum, is the electric flux through the region.

At any instant, the displacement current in the gap between the plates equals the

conduction current i in the wires. Thus, the value of the displacement current will be

id=i=2.0A

Hence, the displacement current is 2.0A.

(b) Determining the rate of change of the electric field

The rate of change of the electric field can be given using equation (I) in part (a) calculations as follows:

dEdt=id0A=2.0A8.8510-12C2/N.m21.0m2..........................(II)=2.31011V/ms

Hence, the rate of change of the electric field is 2.31011V/ms.

05

(c) Determining the displacement current encircled by the square dashed path

Using equation (II) of part (b), the rate of electric field in the region for the given square with edge lengthcan be given as follows:

dE1dt=id0L2Area of the square,A=L2..........................(III)

Using equation (II) of part (b), the rate of electric field in the region for the dashed square with edge lengthcan be given as follows:

dE2dt=id'0d2Area of the dashed square,A=d2..............(IV)

Since, the electric field value is uniform in the region, using equation (III) and (IV), the value of the displacement current through the indicated or the dashed square path can be given as follows:

dE1dt=dE2dtid0L2=id'0d2id'=idd2L2=2.0A0.50m1.0m2=0.50A

Hence, the displacement current encircled by the square dashed path is 0.50A.

06

(d) Determining the integral of the field around the indicated path 

The integral of the field around the indicated path is given using the given data in equation (ii) as follows:

B.ds=0id=410-7T.m/A0.50A=6310-7Tm

Hence, the integral of the field around the indicated path is 6310-7Tm.

The magnitude of the dipole moment associated with an atom of iron in an iron bar is 2.110-23J/T. Assume that all the atoms in the bar, which is5.0cmlong and has a cross-sectional area of1.0cm2, have their dipole moments aligned. (a) What is the dipole moment of the bar? (b) What torque must be exerted to hold this magnet perpendicular to an external field of magnitude1.5T? (The density of iron is7.9g/m3.)

The magnitude of the density of this displacement current is Jd=(4.00A/m2)(1-r/R), where r is the radial distance rR.

In New Hampshire the average horizontal component of Earth鈥檚 magnetic field in 1912 was 16T, and the average inclination or 鈥渄ip鈥 was 73. What was the corresponding magnitude of Earth鈥檚 magnetic field?

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?
