JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 3. current electricity

A parallel plate capacitor of area \(A=16 \mathrm{~cm}^2\) and separation between the plates 10 cm , is charged by a DC current. Consider a hypothetical plane surface of area \(\mathrm{A}_0=3.2 \mathrm{~cm}^2\) 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 \(\mathrm{A}_0\) is ________ mA .

  1. A 1400
  2. B 1600
  3. C 1200
  4. D 1000
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 1200

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(i_d=i_c\) \(\therefore\) Total displacement current \(=6 \mathrm{~A}\) Through \(A_0\) \(\begin{aligned} & i=\left(\frac{A_0}{A}\right) 6 \\ & =\frac{3.2}{16} \times 6=1.2 \mathrm{~A}=1200 \mathrm{~mA} \end{aligned}\)
