A parallel plate capacitor of area A=16 cm2 and separation between the plates 10 cm , is charged by a DC current. Consider a hypothetical plane surface of area A0=3.2 cm2 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 is mA .
Answer
1200
Solution
[figure]
Id=I spread uniformly over the plate area: Jd= 616 A/cm2
Id=JdA0= 616 3.2=1.2 A=1200 mA
Answer: 1200
