Try it on paper first. A hint, the key idea and the worked solution are here when you need them.
The plates of a capacitor are discs of radius cm, with a vacuum between them. The electric field between them grows at V/(m s). Use and . Find the displacement current, the magnetic field at the edge of the plates, and the magnetic field on a circle of radius cm.

Work it out on paper first. It is fine to get stuck or make a mistake: that is how we learn. When you are ready, go through the solution one step at a time, and check each step against your own.
Step 1. The displacement current. .
Step 2. The edge. .
Step 3. The circle of radius cm. The fraction is , so A. Then , half of the field at the edge.
Answer: A; ; .
Check. Inside the plates the field is in proportion to the distance from the axis, so half the radius gives half the field.
