The y y axis is into the page in the left panel while the x x axis is out of the page in the right panel. We now show that a capacitor that is charging or discharging has a magnetic field between the plates. Figure 17.1.2 17.1. 2: shows a parallel plate capacitor with a current i i flowing into the left plate and out of the right plate.
In fact, the inductor is basically a coil of wire. In circuits that we will study, the time-varying magnetic field is produced by a changing current. The behavior of the capacitor is based on the properties of the electric field created in a dielectric (non-conductor) placed between two conductors.
Since the capacitor plates are charging, the electric field between the two plates will be increasing and thus create a curly magnetic field. We will think about two cases: one that looks at the magnetic field inside the capacitor and one that looks at the magnetic field outside the capacitor.
The magnetic field points in the direction of a circle concentric with the wire. The magnetic circulation around the wire is thus ΓB = 2ΠrB = μ0i Γ B = 2 Π r B = μ 0 i. Notice that the magnetic circulation is found to be the same around the wire and around the periphery of the capacitor.
The behavior of the capacitor is based on the properties of the electric field created in a dielectric (non-conductor) placed between two conductors. The capacitor is basically a non-conductor sandwiched between two conductors. There is a relationship between current and voltage for an inductor, just as there is for a resistor.
If in a flat capacitor, formed by two circular armatures of radius R R, placed at a distance d d, where R R and d d are expressed in metres (m), a variable potential difference is applied to the reinforcement over time and initially zero, a variable magnetic field B B is detected inside the capacitor.
