Question 28 of 165

A parallel plate capacitor of area A=16 cm2A=16 \mathrm{~cm}^2 and separation between the plates 10 cm , is charged by a DC current. Consider a hypothetical plane surface of area A0=3.2 cm2\mathrm{A}_0=3.2 \mathrm{~cm}^2 inside the capacitor and parallel to the plates. At an instant, the current through the circuit is 6A. At the same instant the displacement current through A0\mathrm{A}_0 is ________ mA .

Show answer and solution

Answer: 1200

id=ici_d=i_c
∴\therefore Total displacement current =6 A=6 \mathrm{~A}
Through
A0A_0
$\begin{aligned}

& i=\left(\frac{A_0}{A}\right) 6 \\

& =\frac{3.2}{16} \times 6=1.2 \mathrm{~A}=1200 \mathrm{~mA}

\end{aligned}$
