A capacitor consists of two circular plates of radius a separated by a distance d(assume d << a). The centre of each plate is connected to the terminals of a voltagesource by a thin wire. A switch in the circuit is closed at time t = 0 and a current I(t) flows in the circuit. Thecharge on the plate is related to the current according to I (t) = dq/dt. We begin bycalculating the electric field between the plates. Throughout this problem you mayignore edge effects. We assume that the electric field is zero for r > a.(A) Use Gauss’ Law to find the electric field between the plates as a functionof time t, in terms of q(t), a, ε, and π.
