$A$ parallel plate capacitor is charged by connecting it to a battery through a resistor. If $I$ is the current in the circuit,then in the gap between the plates:

  • A
    Displacement current of magnitude equal to $I$ flows in the same direction as $I$.
  • B
    Displacement current of magnitude equal to $I$ flows in a direction opposite to that of $I$.
  • C
    Displacement current of magnitude greater than $I$ flows but can be in any direction.
  • D
    There is no current.

$A$ parallel-plate capacitor with circular plates is being discharged. The radius of the circular plates is $10 \ cm$. $A$ circular loop of radius $20 \ cm$ is concentric with the capacitor and located halfway between the plates. If the electric field between the plates is changing at the rate of $3.6 \times 10^{12} \ V/(m \cdot s)$,then the displacement current through the loop is (Assume $\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0} = 9 \times 10^9 \ N \cdot m^2/C^2$) (in $A$)

What is the effect of displacement current?

$A$ time-varying potential difference is applied between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor of capacitance $2.5 \mu \text{F}$. The dielectric constant of the medium between the capacitor plates is $1$. It produces an instantaneous displacement current of $0.25 \text{ mA}$ in the intervening space between the capacitor plates. The magnitude of the rate of change of the potential difference will be . . . . . . $\text{V s}^{-1}$.
