🔑:## Step 1: Understand the formula for the time constant of a capacitorThe time constant (τ) of a capacitor in a circuit is given by the formula τ = RC, where R is the resistance in the circuit and C is the capacitance.## Step 2: Determine the effect of increasing resistance on the time constantWhen the resistance in the circuit is increased by a factor of 2, the new resistance (R_new) is 2 times the original resistance (R_original). So, R_new = 2 * R_original.## Step 3: Calculate the new time constantUsing the formula for the time constant and the new resistance, the new time constant (τ_new) can be calculated as τ_new = R_new * C. Substituting R_new from step 2 gives τ_new = (2 * R_original) * C.## Step 4: Express the new time constant in terms of the original time constantSince the original time constant (τ_original) is R_original * C, the new time constant can be expressed in terms of τ_original by factoring out the original resistance and capacitance relationship. Thus, τ_new = 2 * (R_original * C) = 2 * τ_original.## Step 5: Interpret the effect on charging timeThe time constant is a measure of how quickly a capacitor charges or discharges. A larger time constant means a longer charging or discharging time. Therefore, increasing the resistance by a factor of 2 will increase the time constant by a factor of 2, which in turn will double the charging time of the capacitor.The final answer is: boxed{2tau}

🔑:## Step 1: Recall Maxwell's EquationsMaxwell's equations are a set of four fundamental equations in classical electromagnetism. They describe how the electric and magnetic fields interact and how they are generated by charges and currents. The equations are: (1) Gauss's law for electric fields, (2) Gauss's law for magnetic fields, (3) Faraday's law of induction, and (4) Ampere's law with Maxwell's correction. For this problem, we are particularly interested in Faraday's law of induction and Ampere's law with Maxwell's correction because they relate electric and magnetic fields.## Step 2: Identify Relevant Maxwell's EquationsFaraday's law of induction states that a time-varying magnetic field induces an electric field, given by (nabla times mathbf{E} = -frac{partial mathbf{B}}{partial t}). Ampere's law with Maxwell's correction states that a time-varying electric field induces a magnetic field, given by (nabla times mathbf{B} = mu_0 mathbf{J} + mu_0 epsilon_0 frac{partial mathbf{E}}{partial t}). Since there is no current ((mathbf{J} = 0)), Ampere's law simplifies to (nabla times mathbf{B} = mu_0 epsilon_0 frac{partial mathbf{E}}{partial t}).## Step 3: Apply Given ConditionsGiven (mathbf{E} = <0, 0, t>), we find (frac{partial mathbf{E}}{partial t} = <0, 0, 1>) because the derivative of (t) with respect to (t) is 1, and the derivatives of the constants 0 with respect to (t) are 0.## Step 4: Substitute into Ampere's LawSubstituting (frac{partial mathbf{E}}{partial t} = <0, 0, 1>) into the simplified Ampere's law gives (nabla times mathbf{B} = mu_0 epsilon_0 <0, 0, 1>).## Step 5: Solve for BTo solve for (mathbf{B}), we need to find a vector whose curl is (mu_0 epsilon_0 <0, 0, 1>). The curl of a vector (mathbf{B} = <B_x, B_y, B_z>) is given by (nabla times mathbf{B} = begin{vmatrix} mathbf{i} & mathbf{j} & mathbf{k} frac{partial}{partial x} & frac{partial}{partial y} & frac{partial}{partial z} B_x & B_y & B_z end{vmatrix}). For (nabla times mathbf{B}) to be (<0, 0, mu_0 epsilon_0>), (B_x) and (B_y) must be functions of (x) and (y) such that their derivatives with respect to (z) and each other produce the desired components.## Step 6: Determine B ComponentsConsidering symmetry and the fact that (mathbf{E}) only varies with time and not with space, we can propose a solution where (B_x) and (B_y) are linear functions of (x) and (y) respectively, and (B_z = 0). This is because the curl of (mathbf{B}) should only have a (z)-component, given the form of (frac{partial mathbf{E}}{partial t}).## Step 7: Find Specific SolutionGiven (nabla times mathbf{B} = mu_0 epsilon_0 <0, 0, 1>), and assuming (B_z = 0), we have (frac{partial B_y}{partial x} - frac{partial B_x}{partial y} = mu_0 epsilon_0). A simple solution satisfying this is (B_x = -frac{1}{2} mu_0 epsilon_0 y) and (B_y = frac{1}{2} mu_0 epsilon_0 x), because their derivatives give the required result.The final answer is: boxed{<-frac{1}{2} mu_0 epsilon_0 y, frac{1}{2} mu_0 epsilon_0 x, 0>}
