In an RC circuit, the capacitor begins to discharge. During the discharge, in the region of space between the plates of the capacitor:

  1. there is a conduction current
  2. there is an electric field, but no magnetic field
  3. there is a magnetic field, but no electric field
  4. there are both electric and magnetic field

 

In an RC circuit, the capacitor begins to discharge. 
 
(i) During the discharge, in the region of space between the plates of the capacitor, is there 
 
(a) conduction current but no displacement current, 
(b) displacement current but no conduction current, 
(c) both conduction and displacement current, or 
(d) no current of any type? 
 
(ii) In the same region of space, is there 
 
(a) an electric field but no magnetic field. 
(b) a magnetic field but no electric field. 
(c) both electric and magnetic fields, or 
(d) no fields of any type?

 

The circuit in figure 32-34 consists of switch S, a 5.30 V ideal battery, a 35.0 MO resistor, and an airfilled capacitor. The capacitor has parallel circular plates of radius 5.50 cm, separated by 3.50 mm. At time t = 0, switch S is closed to begin charging the capacitor. The electric field between the plates is uniform. At t = 320
