4)                                As a parallel-plate capacitor with circular plates 1 cm in diameter is being charged, the current density of the displacement current in the region between the plates is uniform and has a magnitude of 176 A/m2.
                                    [ N.B.  Wherever π appears in your answers simply leave it as π ]
 
                  (a)             What is the total displacement current between the plates ?                                                          (5)

For uniform J,   id = JA = 176 x π x 10-4 x 0.25 = 44π x 10-4  A
 
                  (b)             Calculate the magnitude, B of the magnetic field at a distance r = 2.5 mm from the axis of symmetry of this region.                                                                                                                                                (15)

Ampere's Law   t3q4eqn2

C is a cicular loop, radius r centered on the axis of the capacitor.  The plane of the loop is parallel to the pates of the capacitor.  By symmetry the B field is constant in magnitude on this loop such that,
