A parallel plate capacitor made of circular plates is being charged such that the surface charge density on its plates is increasing at a constant rate with time. The magnetic field arising due to displacement current is:

  1. Non-zero everywhere with maximum at the imaginary cylindrical surface connecting peripheries of the plates
  2. Zero between the plates and non-zero outside
  3. Zero at all places
  4. Constant between the plates and zero outside the plates

Answer

(1) Non-zero everywhere with maximum at the imaginary cylindrical surface connecting peripheries of the plates

Solution

increases at a constant rate, so E = 0 changes at a constant rate and the displacement current Id = 0 d Edt is constant and uniform over the plate area.

Ampere–Maxwell law for a circle of radius r (plate radius R):

Inside (r < R): B 2 r = 0 Id r2R2 B = 0 Id r2 R2 (increases with r).

Outside (r > R): B = 0 Id2 r (decreases with r).

So B is non-zero everywhere (except on the axis) and is maximum at r = R, the cylindrical surface joining the peripheries of the plates.

A parallel plate capacitor is charged by connecting it to a battery through a resistor. If I is the current in the circuit, then in the gap between the plates:

  1. There is no current
  2. Displacement current of magnitude equal to I flows in the same direction as I
  3. Displacement current of magnitude equal to I flows in a direction opposite to that of I
  4. Displacement current of magnitude greater than I flows but can be in any direction
