Displacement Current, Maxwell's Equations & Production
A parallel plate capacitor of area and separation between the plates 10 cm, is charged by a DC current. Consider a hypothetical plane surface of area inside the capacitor and parallel to the plates. At an instant, the current through the circuit is 6A. At the same instant the displacement current through is __________ mA.

Show answer and solution
Answer: 1200
- Inside the capacitor the displacement current equals the circuit current, 6 A, spread uniformly over the plate area .
- Through area : A.
- Answer: 1200 mA.
