Question

Constants PartA A parallel-plate capacitor is charged until it carries charge +q on one plate and charge-qon the other plate. The capacitor is then disconnected from the power supply and isolated. What is the direction of the magnetic field that surrounds the charged capacitor? There is no magnetic field. o The magnetic field is directed counterclockwise as viewed from the plate with positive charge +toward the plate with negative charge-4 The magnetic field is directed counterclockwise as viewed from the plate with negative charge toward the plate with positive charge +q The magnetic field is directed toward the plate with positive charge +q inside the capacitor and toward the plate with negative charge-q outside of the capacitor. The magnetic field is directed toward the plate with negative charge-g inside the capacitor and toward the plate with positive charge +q outside of the capacitor Submit Previous Answers Request Answer X Incorrect; Try Again; 5 attempts remaining

Explanation / Answer

There can not be a magnetic field outside the capacitor. The magnetic field can not be discontinuous

so the option 1 is correct.
