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. The vertical direction is the k direction. (B)Now take an imaginary flat disc of radius r < a inside the capacitor, as shownbelow. Using your expression for E above, calculate the electric flux through this flatdisc of radius r < a in the plane midway between the plates, in terms of r, q(t), a,and ε.
