Show that displacement current is equal to conduction current during chargeing of a capacitor.

Answer»

Solution :LET at an instant magnitude of charge on the plates of capacitor be Q. Area of each plate is A. Electric field between the plates of capacitor

E = `(Q)/(A epsilon_(0))`........ (1)
Flux of this passing through the suface between the plaates is
` phi_(E ) = E xx A = (Q)/(A epsilon_(0)) xx A `
`phi_(E ) = (Q)/(epsilon_(0))` ......... (ii)
Displacement current `i_(d)` is
`i_(d) = epsilon_(0) xx (d phi_(epsilon))/(dt ) = epsilon_(0) (d)/(dt) ((Q)/(epsilon_(0))) = epsilon_(0) xx (1dQ)/(epsilon_(0)dt)`
`I_(d) = (DQ)/(dt)` ....... (iii)
`(dQ)/(dt)` is the rate at which charge is reaching to POSITIVE plate of capacitor through conducting wire therefore
`I_( c) = (dQ)/(dt)` ... (iv)
From equations (iii) and (iv)
`I_(d) = I_(c )`
