  • question_answer
    A parallel plate capacitor with plate area A and separation between the plates J, is charged by a constant current i. Consider a plane surface of area all parallel to the plates and drawn simultaneously between the plates. The displacement current through this area is

    A) \[i\]                  

    B) \[i/2\]

    C) \[i/4\]                

    D) \[i/8\]  

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] Charge on Capacitor plates at time t is, q=it Electric field between the plates at this instant.             \[E=\frac{q}{A{{\varepsilon }_{0}}}=\frac{it}{A{{\varepsilon }_{0}}}\] Electric flux through the given area             \[{{\phi }_{E}}=\left( \frac{A}{2} \right)E=\frac{it}{2{{\varepsilon }_{0}}}\] Therefore, displacement current             \[{{i}_{d}}={{\varepsilon }_{0}}\frac{d{{\phi }_{E}}}{dt}={{\varepsilon }_{0}}\frac{d}{dt}\left( \frac{it}{2{{\varepsilon }_{0}}} \right)=\frac{i}{2}\]
