Question:

The charge of a parallel plate capacitor is varying as $q= q_0 sin \, 2\pi ft$ . The plates are very large and close together (area= A, separation= d). Neglecting edge effects, the displacement current through the capacitor is

Options:

$\frac{d}{Aε_0}$

$\frac{d}{ε_0}sin2 \pi ft$

$2\pi fq_0 cos 2 \pi ft$

$\frac{2\pi fq_0}{ε_0}cos2\pi ft$

Correct Answer:

$2\pi fq_0 cos 2 \pi ft$

Explanation:

$i = \frac{dq}{dt} =\frac{d}{dt} (q_0 sin 2 \pi ft) = q_02\pi f cos 2 \pi ft $
