Question 43

A spherical capacitor is formed by two concentric metallic spherical shells. The capacitor is then charged so that the outer shell carries a positive charge and the inner shell carries an equal but negative charge. Even if the capacitor is not connected to any circuit, the charge will eventually leak away due to a small electrical conductivity of the material between the shells. What is the character of the magnetic field produced by this leakage current?
