A 5.0cmdiameter parallel-plate capacitor has a 0.50mmgap. What is the displacement current in the capacitor if the potential difference across the capacitor is increasing at 500,000V/s?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Displacement current in the capacitor will be3.478x10-6A.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information.

We have been given that,

Diameter of the capacitor 5cm.

Gap between parallel plate Capacitor 0.50mm.

Increasing rate of Potential difference500000V/s.

02

Simplification

Diameter D = 5cm=0.05m,

Radius r=D/2= 0.05m2=0.025m,

Gap d between the parallel plates = 0.50mm=0.5x10-3m.

Increasing Potential difference dV/dt=500000V/s

Firstly we will Calculate the capacitance C, between the parallel plates using the formula :-

C=ε0Adwhere Ais area between the parallel plates and dis gap between the parallel plates.

C=ε0πr2d( Area A=πr2)

C=8.854x10-12xπr2d(ε0=8.85x10-12F/m)

C=8.854x10-12xπx(0.025)20.5x10-3(substituting the value of r)

After solving we get,

C=6.956x10-12F

Now, For displacement Current we know Id=CxdVdt.

Id=6.956x10-12x5x105(substituting the value of Cand dVdt)

After solving the mathematical part we will get,

Id=3.478x10-6A

3.478x10-6Ais the displacement current in the capacitor if the potential difference across the capacitor is increasing at 500000V/s.
