A parallel plate capacitor of capacitance \(20~\mu\text{F}\) is being charged by a voltage source whose potential is changing at the rate of \(3~\text{V/s}.\) The conduction current through the connecting wires, and the displacement current through the plates of the capacitor would be, respectively:
| 1. | zero, zero | 2. | zero, \(60~\mu\text{A}\) |
| 3. | \(60~\mu\text{A},\) \(60~\mu\text{A}\) | 4. | \(60~\mu\text{A},\) zero |
Displacement current is the same as:
| 1. | Conduction current due to the flow of free electrons |
| 2. | Conduction current due to the flow of positive ions |
| 3. | Conduction current due to the flow of both positive and negative free charge carriers |
| 4. | It is not a conduction current but is caused by the time-varying electric field |
The charge of a parallel plate capacitor is varying as; \(q = q_{0} \sin\omega t\). The magnitude of displacement current through the capacitor is:
(the plate Area = \(A\), separation of plates = \(d\))
1. \(q_{0}\cos \left(\omega t \right)\)
2. \(q_{0} \omega \sin\omega t\)
3. \(q_{0} \omega \cos \omega t\)
4. \(\frac{q_{0} A \omega}{d} \cos \omega t\)
The S.I. unit of displacement current is:
1. Henry
2. Coulomb
3. Ampere
4. Farad
| 1. | \(1.873 \times 10^7~\text{V/s} \) |
| 2. | \(1.873 \times 10^8~\text{V/s}\) |
| 3. | \(1.873 \times 10^9~\text{V/s}\) |
| 4. | \(1.873 \times 10^{10}~\text{V/s}\) |
A variable frequency AC source is connected to a capacitor. Then on increasing the frequency:
| 1. | Both conduction current and displacement current will increase |
| 2. | Both conduction current and displacement current will decrease |
| 3. | Conduction current will increase and displacement current will decrease |
| 4. | Conduction current will decrease and displacement current will increase |
Instantaneous displacement current of \(2.0~\text A\) is set up in the space between two parallel plates of \(1~\mu \text{F}\) capacitor. The rate of change in potential difference across the capacitor is:
1. \(3\times 10^{6}~\text{V/s}\)
2. \(4\times 10^{6}~\text{V/s}\)
3. \(2\times 10^{6}~\text{V/s}\)
4. None of these
A larger parallel plate capacitor, whose plates have an area of 1 are separated from each other by 1 mm, is being charged at a rate of 25.8 V/s. If the plates has dielectric constant 10, then the displacement current at this instant is:
1. 25
2. 11
3. 2.2

A capacitor is made of two circular plates each of radius \(12~\text{cm}\) and separated by \(5.0~\text{cm}.\) The capacitor being charged by an external source. The charging current is constant and equal to \(0.15~\text{A}.\) The displacement current across the plates is:
1. \(0\)
2. \(0.14~\text{A}\)
3. \(0.16~\text{A}\)
4. \(0.15~\text{A}\)
