Answer

a) ${\bf 1.0}\;\rm mT$ b) ${\bf 0.16}\;\rm mT$

Work Step by Step

$$\color{blue}{\bf [a]}$$ We know that the magnetic field at a point at a distance $r$ from the center of a current-carrying wire is given by $$B_{\rm wire}=\dfrac{\mu_0I_{\rm wire}}{2\pi r}$$ Plug the known; $$B_{\rm wire}=\dfrac{(4\pi\times 10^{-7})(10)}{2\pi (2\times 10^{-3})}$$ $$B_{\rm wire}=\color{red}{\bf 1.0}\;\rm mT$$ $$\color{blue}{\bf [b]}$$ Recalling that the induced magnetic field inside a charging capacitor is given by $$B=\dfrac{\mu_0 r}{2\pi R^2}\dfrac{dQ}{dt} $$ where $R$ is the radius of the capacitor's plate, and $dQ/dt=I_{\rm wire}$; $$B=\dfrac{\mu_0 rI_{\rm wire}}{2\pi R^2} $$ Plug the known; $$B=\dfrac{(4\pi\times 10^{-7})(2\times 10^{-3})(10)}{2\pi (0.5\times 10^{-2})^2} $$ $$B =\color{red}{\bf 0.16}\;\rm mT$$
