Problem 4.201

A parallel-plate air capacitor whose electrodes are shaped as discs of radius \(R=6.0 \mathrm{~cm}\) is connected to a source of an alternating sinusoidal voltage with frequency \(\omega=1000 \mathrm{~s}^{-1}\). Find the ratio of peak values of magnetic and electric energiés within the capacitor.
