16.5 Exercise 36

Avg difficulty 2.5

In a region of space, the electric field is pointed along the x-axis, but its magnitude changes as described by
Ex=(10N/C)sin(20x−500t)Ey=Ez=0\begin{matrix}E_{x} = \left(10 \text{N}/\text{C}\right) \text{sin} \left(20 x - 500 t\right) \\ E_{y} = E_{z} = 0\end{matrix}
where t is in nanoseconds and x is in cm. Find the displacement current through a circle of radius 3 cm in the x=0x = 0 plane at t=0t = 0.
