A Capacitor Is Charging in a Simple RC Circuit with a Dc

question 13

Multiple Choice

A capacitor is charging in a simple RC circuit with a dc battery.Which one of the following statements about this capacitor is accurate?

• A) There is a magnetic field between the capacitor plates because charge travels between the plates by jumping from one plate to the other.
• B) There is no magnetic field between the capacitor plates because no charge travels between the plates.
• C) There is a magnetic field between the capacitor plates, even though no charge travels between them, because the magnetic flux between the plates is changing.
• D) There is a magnetic field between the capacitor plates, even though no charge travels between them, because the electric flux between the plates is changing.
• E) The magnetic field between the capacitor plates is increasing with time because the charge on the plates is increasing.
