Induced magnetic field from non-uniform electric field

Student 3057 9 years ago updated by Physics Tutorial Center Staff 9 years ago 2

An electric field is directed out of the page within a circular region of radius R=3.00 cm. The magnitude of the electric field is given by E = (.500 V/m*s)(1-r/R)t, where t is in seconds and r is the radial distance (r<=R). What is the magnitude of the induced magnetic field at radial distance 5.00 cm?

Using one of maxwell's equations in integral form

integral(B*dl) = mu_0*epsilon_0 integral(dE/dt * da)


Apply the bounds for dl as 0 to 2 pi and for da as 0 to R and 0 to 2pi.


After integrating, you find the integral on both sides after applying the derivative with respect to time of the Electric field.

Student 5051 is correct. integrating and solving for the magnetic field at R' should give:

B= (1/3)*mu*epsilon*(3R'/2 - R'^2/R)


Good luck!
