A parallel-plate capacitor with circular plates of radius Ris being discharged. The displacement current through a central circular area, parallel to the plates and with radius R2, is 2.0A. What is the discharging current?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The discharging current is id=8.0A.

Step by step solution

01

Listing the given quantities:

Discharging current, Id=2.0A

Radius of the circular plates of the parallel plate capacitor is R.

Radius of the central circular plates through which the current flows is R2.

02

Understanding the concepts of displacement current:

Use the formula of the displacement current through capacitor and the current for charging capacitor to find the displacement current.

Formulae:

The area is,

A=Ï€r2

The displacement current is,

id=ε0AdEdt

Here, ε0is the permittivity of free space, Eis the electric field, and tis time.

03

Calculations of the discharging current:

Forcircular plates of the parallel plate capacitor of radius,

A=Ï€R2

And for central circular plates of radius R2. Thus, the area will be,

Ac=Ï€R24

For displacement current,

id=ε0AdEdt ..... (1)

And for charging capacitor,

i=ε0AcdEdt ..... (2)

Take a ratio of equation (1) and (2), and you have

idi=Ï€R2Ï€R24id=4i

role="math" localid="1663091398478" id=4×(2.0A)=8.0A

Hence, the discharging current is 8.0A.
