Calculating Magnetic Field Strength for Parallel-Plate Capacitor

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the magnetic field strength at a distance from the axis of a parallel-plate capacitor, the relevant equation involves the permeability of free space and the rate of change of charge. The user initially calculated a value of 2.4 but realized unit conversion for the electric field's rate of change is necessary. They also considered the charge of an electron in their calculations. A reference value from masteringphysics.com provided a magnetic field strength of 1.67*10^-13 T. The discussion then shifted to calculating the magnetic field strength at 7 cm from the axis.

Homework Statement


A 10-cm-diameter parallel-plate capacitor has a 1.0 mm spacing. The electric field between the plates is increasing at the rate 1*10^6V/m/s.

What is the magnetic field strength 3.0 cm from the axis?



Homework Equations


B= uo/(2*pi) *r/R^2*(Chang in Q/ change in time)


The Attempt at a Solution



I keep getting 2.4

I think you need to change the unites for the increase rate to C/s.
anyone knows how?
 
Oh good thinking- I probably need to accound for the charge of an electron.
 
I got the answer from masteringphysics.com 1.67*10^-13 T.
Now what is the magnetic field strength 7cm from the axis?

Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

Thread 'Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them'

My initial calculation was to subtract V1 from V2 to show that from the perspective of the second aircraft the first one is -300km/h. So i checked with ChatGPT and it said I cant just subtract them because I have an angle between them. So I dont understand the reasoning of it. Like why should a velocity be dependent on an angle? I was thinking about how it would look like if the planes where parallel to each other, and then how it look like if one is turning away and I dont see it. Since...
