2. By = 60 (5x + 1.5 109 t) T
3. By = 2 10-7 (5x + 1.5 109 t) T
4. Bx = 2 10-7 (5x + 1.5 109 t) T

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
