A capacitor is made of two circular metal plates of radius 1 m separated by a distance of
d = 1 mm. The space between them is filled by a dielectric with permittivity 𝜖r = 5. The
capacitor is connected to a voltage V = 10 sin(2𝜋 × 106 × t) volts, where t is in seconds.
The maximum value of the magnetic field in between the plates at a radial distance
r = 0.5 m from the centre of the capacitor is B × 10-6 T. The value of B (rounded off to
two decimal places) is _____
(Speed of light in vacuum c = 3 × 108 m. s-1)
