a) A uniform field pointing directly out of the page is present in a circular region and steadily decreases in magnitude. If the field is a magnetic field, an electric field would be induced, while if it is an electric field, a magnetic field would be induced. Make a sketch of the source and induced fields for each possibility (a changing magnetic field inducing an electric field and a changing electric field inducing a magnetic field.) Making sure to draw at least a few field lines inside and outside of the circular region and to indicate the direction of the induced field. Discuss briefly the similarities and differences between the two sketches and how the differences are built into Maxwell's equations.

a) A uniform field pointing directly out of the page is present in a circular region and steadily
decreases in magnitude. If the field is a magnetic field, an electric field would be induced, while if it
is an electric field, a magnetic field would be induced.
Make a sketch of the source and induced fields for each possibility (a changing magnetic field inducing
an electric field and a changing electric field inducing a magnetic field.) Making sure to draw at
least a few field lines inside and outside of the circular region and to indicate the direction of the
induced field.
Discuss briefly the similarities and differences between the two sketches and how the differences are
built into Maxwell's equations.
