Short Answer

The figure 32-20 shows a circular region of radiusR=3cm in which a displacement current is directed out of the page. The magnitude of the density of this displacement current is Jd=(4 A/m2)(1-r/R), where is the radial distance (rR).(a) What is the magnitude of the magnetic field due to displacement current at 2cm?(b) What is the magnitude of the magnetic field due to displacement current at 5cm ?

  1. The magnitude of the magnetic field due to displacement current at a radial distance at2cm is B=27.9nT.
  2. The magnitude of the magnetic field due to displacement current at a radial distance at 5cm is B=15.1nT.

Step by Step Solution

The given data

  1. Displacement current density Jd=(4A/m2(1-r/R)),
  2. The radius of the circular region R=3cm×1m100cm=3×10-2m,
  3. Radial distances at which the magnetic field is induced r1=2cmx1100m=0.02m r2=5cmx1100m=0.05m,

Understanding the concept of induced magnetic field

When a conductor is placed in a region of changing magnetic field, it induces a displacement current that starts flowing through it as it causes the case of an electric field produced in the conductor region. According to Lenz law, the current flows through the conductor such that it opposes the change in magnetic flux through the area enclosed by the loop or the conductor. The magnitude of the magnetic field is due to the displacement current using the displacement current density which is non-uniformly distributed.

Formulae:

The magnetic field at a point inside the capacitor,B=μ0idr2πR2 (i)

where, B is the magnetic field, μ0=(4πx10-7T.m/A) is the magnetic permittivity constant, r is the radial distance, id is the displacement current, R is the radius of the circular region.

The magnetic field at a point outside the capacitor, B=μ0id2πr (ii)

Where, μ0=(4πx10-7T.m/A) is the magnetic permittivity constant , r is the radial distance, id is the displacement current.

The current flowing in a given region for non-uniform electric field, id,enc=0rJ(2πr)dr (iii)

Where, J is the current density of the material, r is the radial distance of the circular region, dr is the differential form of the radial distance.

(a) Determining the magnitude of the magnetic field due to displacement current at a radial distance R=2cm.

The displacement current density is non-uniform. Hence, the displacement current is determined by taking the integration over the closed path of radius r,r1=0.02m,r1<R and that is given using the given data in equation (i) as follows:

id,enc=0r(4.00A/m2)(1-r/R)(2πr)drid,enc=(8πA/m2)0r(r-r2/R)drid,enc=(8πA/m2)r22-r33Rid,enc=(8πA/m2)0.02m22-0.02m33×0.03mid,enc=2.79×10-3A …………………………….. (I)

The integral is limited to . Hence, by taking in equation (i), the magnetic field can be determined as follows:

B=μ0idr12πr12B=μ0id2πr1B=4π×10-7T.m/A2.79×10-3A2π×0.02mB=2.79×10-7TB=2.79 nT

Therefore, the magnitude of the magnetic field due to displacement current at a radial distance R=2.0cm isB=27.9nT .
