Given: A parallel plate condenser consists of two circular plates each of radius 2cm separated by a distance of 0.1mm. A time varying potential difference of $$5\times 10^{13}v/s$$ is applied across the plates of the condenser.
To find the displacement current
Solution:
Radius of each circular plate, $$r = 2 cm = 0.02 m$$
Distance between the plates, $$d =0.1mm=0.1\times10^{-3}m$$
the change in potential difference between the plates, $$\dfrac {dV}{dt}=5\times10^{13}vs$$
Permittivity of free space, $$\varepsilon_0= 8.85 \times 10^{−12} C^2 N^{−1} m^{−2}$$
Hence area of the each plate, $$A=\pi r^2=\pi (0.02)^2=1.26\times 10^{-3}m^2......(i)$$
Capacitance between the two plates is given by the relation,
$$C=\dfrac {\varepsilon_0A}{d}\\\implies C=\dfrac {8.85\times10^{-12}\times1.26\times10^{-3}}{0.1\times10^{-3}}\\\implies C=11.15\times10^{-11}F$$
Now we know
displacement current,
$$I_d=\dfrac {dq}{dt}$$
where $$q$$ is the charge on each plate and it is equal to $$q=CV$$
$$I_d=C\dfrac {dV}{dt}$$
By substituting the values, we get
$$I_d=11.15\times10^{-11}\times5\times10^{13}\\\implies I_d=57.55\times10^2\\\implies I_d=5.7\times10^3A$$
is the displacement current.
