An expression for the magnetic field strength $B$ at the point between the capacitor plates indicates in figure express $B$ in terms of the rate of change of the electric field strength ie., $d E / d t$ between the plates (a) $\frac{\mu_{o} i}{2 \pi r}$ (b) $\frac{\varepsilon_{0} \mu_{0} r}{2} d E / d t$ (c) zero (d) $\frac{\mu_{a} i}{2 \pi}$

Key Concepts

Ampère's Law with Maxwell's Correction

This principle extends Ampère's original law by including the contribution of the changing electric field, known as the displacement current. It states that the circulation of the magnetic field around a closed loop is proportional not only to the conduction current passing through the loop but also to the rate of change of the electric flux, making it applicable in scenarios with time-varying fields.

Displacement Current

This concept, introduced by Maxwell, represents a term proportional to the rate of change of the electric field multiplied by the permittivity of free space. It is crucial in explaining how a time-varying electric field, even in the absence of conduction current, can generate a magnetic field, as observed between the plates of a capacitor during charging or discharging.

Magnetic Field Generation due to Time-Varying Fields

This idea explains that a changing electric field can produce a magnetic field. It is derived from Maxwell's equations, which link the variation in electric fields to induced magnetic fields through the displacement current term, thereby ensuring the consistency of electromagnetic theory even in regions devoid of conduction currents.
