A parallel plate capacitor consisting of two circular plates of radius 10 cm is being charged by a constant current of 0.15 A. If the rate of change of potential difference between the plates is 7 108 V/s then the integer value of the distance between the parallel plates is (Take, 0=9 10-12 Fm, = 227) .

Due to presence of an em-wave whose electric component is given by E = 100 ( t - kx) NC-1 a cylinder of length 200 cm holds certain amount of em-energy inside it. If another cylinder of same length but half diameter than previous one holds same amount of em-energy, the magnitude of the electric field of the corresponding em-wave should be modified as

1. 50 ( t - kx) NC-1
2. 400 ( t - kx) NC-1
3. 200 ( t - kx) NC-1
4. 25 ( t - kx) NC-1

The magnetic field of an E.M. wave is given by B = ( 32 i + 12 j )30 [ (t - zc ) ] (S.I. Units). The corresponding electric field in S.I. units is:

2. E = ( 12 i - 32 j )30c [ (t - zc ) ]
3. E = ( 32 i - 12 j )30c [ (t + zc ) ]
4. E = ( 34 i + 14 j )30c [ (t - zc ) ]

A plane electromagnetic wave of frequency 20 MHz travels in free space along the +x direction. At a particular point in space and time, the electric field vector of the wave is Ey=9.3 V m-1. Then, the magnetic field vector of the wave at that point is

A time varying potential difference is applied between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor of capacitance 2.5 . The dielectric constant of the medium between the capacitor plates is 1 . It produces an instantaneous displacement current of 0.25 mA in the intervening space between the capacitor plates, the magnitude of the rate of change of the potential difference will be V s-1.

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 .
