Question: The preceding problem was an artificial

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) Find the electric field between the plates, as a function of t . (b) Find the displacement current through a circle of radius s 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.
