Question: The preceding problem was an artificial model for the charging capacitor, designed to avoid complications associated with the current spreading out over the surface of the plates. For a more realistic model, imagine thin wires that connect to the centers of the plates (Fig. 7.46a). Again, the current I is constant, the radius of the capacitor is a, and the separation of the plates is w << a. Assume that the current flows out over the plates in such a way that the surface charge is uniform, at any given time, and is zero at t = 0.

(a) Find the electric field between the plates, as a function of t.

(b) Find the displacement current through a circle of radius in the plane mid-way between the plates. Using this circle as your "Amperian loop," and the flat surface that spans it, find the magnetic field at a distance s from the axis.

Figure 7.46

(c) Repeat part (b), but this time uses the cylindrical surface in Fig. 7.46(b), which is open at the right end and extends to the left through the plate and terminates outside the capacitor. Notice that the displacement current through this surface is zero, and there are two contributions to Ienc.

(a) The value of the electric field between the plates, as a function of isE=ItSε0.

(b)

The value of displacement currentId=EdS .

The value of magnetic field at a distance s from the axis is B→=μ0I2sAϕ^.

(c) The value of magnetic field in the same direction as the case b isB→=μ0I2πsa2 .

Step by step solution

01

Write the given data from the question.

Consider that the current flows out over the plates in such a way that the surface charge is uniform, at any given time, and is zero at t = 0.

02

Determine the formula of electric field between the plates, as a function of t.

Write the formula of electric field between the plates, as a function of.

E=σtε0 …… (1)

Here, σt is charge on the plate and ε0is relative permittivity.

Write the formula of magnetic field at a distance s from the axis.

B=μ0Id2πs …… (2)

Here, μ0is permeability, Idis displacement current and s is the surface of the plates.

Write the formula of magnetic field in the same direction as the case b.

B=μ0I2πs1-IsI …… (3)

Here, μ0is permeability, I is current, IS is current passing through curve.

03

(a) Determine the electric field between the plates.

Determine the charge on the plate is:

Qt=σtS=It

Since the charge density grows linearly with time and is homogeneous throughout the plate. The electric field is thus:

Determine the electric field between the plates, as a function of t.

Substitute QtSforσtinto equation (1).

E=Qtε0S=ItSε0

Here, S is the surface of the plates.

04

(b) Determine the displacement current and magnetic field at a distance s  from the axis.

The magnetic field will curve around the current if it flows down the z-axis, using Ampere's equation with the displacement current term.

Determine the displacement current.

Id=EdS

Determine the magnetic field at a distance from the axis.

Substitute EDS for Id into equation (2).

B=μ0ε02πsddt∫SEdS=μ0s2π2πsIπa2=μ0I2sAϕ^

Whereas, the integration loop was positioned between the capacitor plates as a circle whose radius was coaxial with the plates.

05

(c) Determine the magnetic field in the same direction as the case b.

Using a new bounding surface but the same Amperian loop once more, the magnetic field is:

2πsB=μ0Ienc

There will be two contributions from "regular" current but there is contribution from the displacement current. Given that the surface's normal points inwards, one is on surface S1 (positive), and the other is at curve C1 (negative).

2πsB=μ0Ienc2πsB=μ0I-μ0IsB=μ0I2πs1-IsI

The charge density must only be a function of time for the current I(s) to travel through curve. Let's say that all we search for is the charge density on the circle enclosed by curve:

σt=Qs,ts2π=1s2πI-Ist

For to only be a function of time the term I-Is needs to be proportional to;

I-Is=Cs2

Substitute 0 for l(s) into above equation.

C=Is2

Now substitute 1s2for C into above equation.

Is=I-Isa2

Determine the magnetic field in the same direction as the case b.

B=μ0I2πs1-1+sa2=μ0I2πsa2

Therefore, the value of magnetic field in the same direction as the case b is .

B→=μ0I2πsa2

An alternating current I(t)=I0cos(Ӭt) (amplitude 0.5 A, frequency ) flows down a straight wire, which runs along the axis of a toroidal coil with rectangular cross section (inner radius 1cm , outer radius 2 cm , height 1 cm, 1000 turns). The coil is connected to a 500Ω resistor.

(a) In the quasistatic approximation, what emf is induced in the toroid? Find the current, IR(t), in the resistor.

(b) Calculate the back emf in the coil, due to the current IR(t) . What is the ratio of the amplitudes of this back emf and the "direct" emf in (a)?

Question: A capacitor C has been charged up to potential V0at time t=0, it is connected to a resistor R, and begins to discharge (Fig. 7.5a).

(b) What was the original energy stored in the capacitor (Eq. 2.55)? By integrating Eq. 7.7, confirm that the heat delivered to the resistor is equal to the energy lost by the capacitor.

Now imagine charging up the capacitor, by connecting it (and the resistor) to a battery of voltage localid="1657603967769" V0, at time t = 0 (Fig. 7.5b).

(c) Again, determine localid="1657603955495" Q(t)and l(t).

An infinite wire runs along the z axis; it carries a current I (z) that is a function ofz(but not of t ), and a charge density λ(t) that is a function of t (but not of z ).

(b) Assume for a moment that the process is quasistatic, so the fields are given by Eqs. 2.9 and 5.38. Show that these are in fact the exact fields, by confirming that all four of Maxwell's equations are satisfied. (First do it in differential form, for the region s > 0, then in integral form for the appropriate Gaussian cylinder/Amperian loop straddling the axis.)
