Suppose you have an increasing current through a long wire, $I(t) = I_0 \frac{t}{t_0}$. Next to this wire, there is a rectangular loop of width $w$ and height $h$. The side of the rectangle is aligned parallel to the wire so that the rectangle is a distance $d$ from the wire, and they are both in the same plane. What is the induced voltage in the rectangle? In what direction is the induced current in the rectangle? | Suppose you have an increasing current through a long wire, $I(t) = I_0 \frac{t}{t_0}$.

- | Below, we also draw the direction of the magnetic field along the loops. We know the magnetic field is directed along our circular loop -- if it pointed in or out a little bit, we may be able to conceive of the closed surface with magnetic flux through it, which would imply the existence of a magnetic monopole. This cannot be the case! We also know that the field is directed counterclockwise, | + | At this point, our integral is set up enough that we can crunch through |

- | Notice, the distance between the plates has no effect on the magnetic field calculation. Also, the amount of the charge on the plates at a given time does not matter -- we only care about how fast the charge is changing (the current!). Also, it is interesting that outside the plates, the magnetic field is the same as it would be for a long wire. This would be just as if the capacitor were not there, and the wire were connected. Below, we show a graph of the magnetic field strength as a function of the distance from the center of the capacitor. | + | |
