Note: Most of these problems are from Griffiths.


1. A fat wire, radius a, carries a constant current I, uniformly
distributed over its cross section. A narrow gap in the wire, of
width w «a, forms a parallel-plate capacitor, as shown in Fig.
Find the magnetic field in the gap, at a distance s < a from the
axis.
Ans. B = μ0 I s/(2πa2) φ
2. The preceding problem was an artificial model for the charging capacitor, designed to avoid
complications associated with the current spreading out over the surface of the plates. For a more
realistic model, imagine thin wires that connect to the centers of the plates (Fig. (a) below). Again, the
current I is constant, the radius of the capacitor is a, and the separation of the plates is w « a. Assume
that the current flows out over the plates in such a way that the surface charge is uniform, at any given
time, and is zero at t = 0.

(a) Find the electric field between the plates, as a


function of t.
(b) Find the displacement current through a circle of
radius s in the plane midway between the plates. Using
this circle as your "Amperian loop," and the flat surface
that spans it, find the magnetic field at a distance s from
the axis.
(c) Repeat part (b), but this time use the cylindrical surface in Fig. (b), which is open at the right end
and extends to the left through the plate and terminates outside the capacitor. Notice that the
displacement current through this surface is zero, and there are two contributions to Ienc.

Ans. (a) (b) B =

3. An alternating current I = I0 cos (wt) flows down a long straight wire placed along Z axis, and returns
along a coaxial conducting tube of radius a. Let the corresponding induced electric field at a distance s
from the wire be given by

(a) Find the displacement current density Jd


(b) Integrate it to get the total displacement current, Id.
(c) What's the ratio of Id and I?
(d) If the outer cylinder were, say, 2 mm in diameter, how high would the frequency have to be, for Id
to be 1% of I?
[This problem is designed to indicate why Faraday never discovered displacement currents, and why it
is ordinarily safe to ignore them unless the frequency is extremely high.]
4. Sea water at frequency v = 4 x 108 Hz has permittivity ε = 81 ε0 , permeability μ2 = μ0, and resistivity ρ
= 0.23 Ω. m. What is the ratio of conduction current to the displacement current?

[Hint: Consider a parallel-plate capacitor immersed in sea water and driven by a voltage V0 cos (2πνt).]
[Ans. 2.41]

5. The unit vector 0.48 x – 0.6 y + 0.64 z is directed from region 2 (ε2 = 2.5; μ2 = 2; σ2 = 0) towards the
region 1 (ε1 = 4; μ1 = 10; σ1 = 0). If H1 = (-100 x – 50 y + 200 z) sin(400t) A/m at point P in region 1 adjacent
to the boundary, find the amplitude at P of (a) HN1, (b) HT1, (c) HN2, (d) H2. Here subscript “N” stands for
“Normal” to the interface, and “T” stands for “Tangential” to the interface.
[Ans. H2 = (111.2 x – 314 y + 481.6 z) sin 400t A/m]

6. A homogeneous dielectric (εr = 2.5) fills region 1 (x < 0), while region 2 is free space.
(a) If D1 = 12 x – 10 y + 4 z nC/m2, find D2 and θ2.

(b) If E2 = 12 V/m and θ2 = 60o, find E1 and θ1.


Here θ1 and θ2 are the angles that the E1 and E2 make with the normal to the interface.
[Ans. (a) 12 x – 4 y + 1.6 z nC/m2, 19.75o; (b) 10.67 V/m, 77o]
