Question #43107
The Question
A uniform electric field is maintained in a cylindrical region of space of radius . The region is filled with a non-magnetic, non-conducting dielectric medium whose permittivity is externally modulated such that it varies with time as . Here, , , , and . Due to the Ampere-Maxwell law, an induced magnetic field is generated inside the cylinder, containing components oscillating at multiple angular frequencies. What is the ratio of the amplitude of the magnetic field component oscillating at angular frequency to the amplitude of the component oscillating at angular frequency ?

Why This Question Is Tricky
Common Mistakes
This question tests the rigorous definition of Maxwell's displacement current in a non-stationary medium.
Students often misapply the formula by assuming , forgetting that the fundamental definition is .
In a medium with time-varying permittivity, the product rule dictates .
Ignoring the second term leads to the incorrect ratio of , failing to account for the full parametric frequency shift caused by the temporal variation of the medium's dielectric properties.
