Magnetic field between circular capacitor plates

ID: magnetic-field-between-circular-capacitor-plates

For a circular air-filled parallel-plate capacitor with voltage phasor , uniform gap and radius , the Ampère-Maxwell equation on a circular loop of radius gives the displayed magnetic field. The enclosed displacement current is proportional to , whereas the circulation is . Consequently its amplitude grows linearly from zero on the axis. This assumes negligible fringing fields and a quasistatic approximation .
