When a capacitor is subjected to a D.C. source it takes small time internal to get fully charged up. During this small time interval there is no passage of charge through dielectric, yet we use a term - displacement current. This term is used because: |
There is a slow motion of charge from one plate to another There is a continues change of electric field between plates and hence electric flux The electric charge from battery stops moving There is temporary breakdown of dielectric |
There is a continues change of electric field between plates and hence electric flux |
The correct answer is Option (2) → There is a continues change of electric field between plates and hence electric flux |
