In this charging capacitor with electric field confined to the space between the plates, is there a magnetic field outside the plates due to the displacement current or not?

In the differential formulation, because the electric field at the point outside the plates is absent (and constant), any magnetic field there would be irrotational.

In the integral formulation, it appears there would be a magnetic field out there because the point is on a closed path through which the electric flux is changing-- unless the total path integral is somehow zero.

So is there a non-zero irrotational magnetic field there?

Do you know the masses or rotational inertias of the members?
