A capacitor made of two parallel plates each of plate area A and separation d, is being charged by an external a.c. source. Show that the displacement current inside the capacitor is the same as the current charging the capacitor. |

Answer» Solution :Yes, ammeter will SHOW a momentary deflection. The momentary deflection is due to the flow of ELECTRONS in the CIRCUIT during the CHARGING process. During the charging process the electric field between the capacitor plates is changing and hence a DISPLACEMENT current flows in the gap. Hence we can say that there is a continuity of current in the circuit. Expression `I_d = epsi_0 (d theta)/(dt)` |
