3) A 5.8 V ideal battery, a 30MN resistor, a capacitor, and a switch S are all con-
nected together in series. The capacitor is circular and has a radius of 4.40 cm. The
gap between the two plates of the capacitor is 1mm wide. At time t=0, the switch
closes and the capacitor begins to get charged. The electric field between the plates
is uniform. At t =
160usec, find B inside the capacitor, at radial distance 3.2 cm.
If 4.1 \times 1021 electrons pass through a 30 resistor in 7
min, what is the potential difference across the resistor? The
fundamental charge is 1.602 \times 10-19 C. Answer in
units of V.
