Question 28 of 165
A parallel plate capacitor of area and separation between the plates 10 cm , is charged by a DC current. Consider a hypothetical plane surface of area 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 is ________ mA .
Show answer and solution
Answer: 1200
Total displacement current
Through
$\begin{aligned}
& i=\left(\frac{A_0}{A}\right) 6 \\
& =\frac{3.2}{16} \times 6=1.2 \mathrm{~A}=1200 \mathrm{~mA}
\end{aligned}$
