Answer:
[tex]I=2.71\times 10^{-5}\ A[/tex]
Explanation:
A 6.0-cm-diameter parallel-plate capacitor has a 0.46 mm gap.
What is the displacement current in the capacitor if the potential difference across the capacitor is increasing at 500,000V/s?
Let given is,
The diameter of a parallel plate capacitor is 6 cm or 0.06 m
Separation between plates, d = 0.046 mm
The potential difference across the capacitor is increasing at 500,000 V/s
We need to find the displacement current in the capacitor. Capacitance for parallel plate capacitor is given by :
[tex]C=\dfrac{A\epsilon_o}{d}\\\\C=\dfrac{\pi r^2\epsilon_o}{d}[/tex], r is radius
Let I is the displacement current. It is given by :
[tex]I=C\dfrac{dV}{dt}[/tex]
Here, [tex]\dfrac{dV}{dt}[/tex] is rate of increasing potential difference
So
[tex]I=\dfrac{\pi r^2\epsilon_o}{d}\times \dfrac{dV}{dt}\\\\I=\dfrac{\pi (0.03)^2\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}}{0.46\times 10^{-3}}\times 500000\\\\I=2.71\times 10^{-5}\ A[/tex]
So, the value of displacement current is [tex]2.71\times 10^{-5}\ A[/tex].
