Question:

What should be the rate of change of potential difference across capacitor to establish an instantaneous displacement current of 1 A in the space between the two parallel plates of a 2 µF capacitor?

Options:

2 × 105 V/s

3 × 105 V/s

4 × 105 V/s

5 × 105 V/s

Correct Answer:

5 × 105 V/s

Explanation:

Here, ID = 1 Amp, and C = 2 µF

So $\frac{dV}{dt}=\frac{I_{D}}{C}=\frac{1}{2 \times 10^{-6}}=5 \times 10^5$ volt / sec.

Thus, a displacement current of 1 Amp. can be set up by changing the potential difference across the parallel plates of the capacitor at the rate of 5 × 105 volt /sec.
