Does parasitic capacitance contribute to the magnetic flux?

When modeling a real inductor, typically the equivalent circuit is the following one: Source A series resistance and parallel capacitor is added. This model works very well to explain the following ...

Is there a magnetic field around a fully charged capacitor?

I know that a magnetic field exists when a capacitor is in the process of charging/discharging: (a) But what if the capacitor is fully charged? Will the magnetic field still persist? Something like: ...

I'm worried about current in an inductor at $t=0$ when it is connected with a DC source

When I connect a dc battery to an ideal pure inductor i think the voltage across inductor should be infinity. Because the rate of change of current should be infinity.because in no time say in $0$ ...

Proper utilization of Ampere’s Law

I am tasked with finding the magnetic field due to a bus bar, which seems to have the exact same set up as Problem 7.62 in the fourth edition of Griffiths' textbook on Electrodynamics. To which I ...

Magnetic field from displacement currents in a capacitor, and an applied exterior magnetic field

If an exterior magnetic field ($B$) is applied to oppose or support the magnetic field produced by the displacement currents ($B_D$), what would happen to the electric field within the gap? And the ...

Magnetic-Dual of a Capacitor

A cylindrical capacitor (two circular metal plates in vacuum) creates an electric field profile. As a thought experiment, can I set up currents to make a magnetic field which completely matches this ...

Cylindrical capacitor with 2 dielectrics

I want to calculate $\vec{E}$ and $\vec{H}$ inside this capacitor: So this would be a cylindrical capacitor but with two different dielectrics in it (they both occupy the same amount of space, excuse ...

Putting a capacitor into a strong magnetic field, will this change the capacity?

I'm wondering, does a magnetic field change the number of electrons, placed and displaced on the two plates of a capacitor. To prove or disprove this, I think the capacitor could be connected to an ...
