A parallel plate capacitor 20 `muF` is being charged by a voltage source whose potential is changing at the rate of 3 V/s. The conduction current through the connecting wires, and the displacement current through the plates of the capacitor, would be, respectively:

Options

A. Zero, `60 mu` A
B. `60 mu`A , `60 u` A
C. `60 mu`A
D. Zero, Zero

Answer

B

Explanation

Given capacitance of capacitor `C = 20 mu F`
`= 20 xx 10^(-6) F`
Rate of change of potential `((dV)/( dt)) =3 V//s`
`(dq)/( dt) = C (dv)/( dt)`
`l_(s) -20 xx 10^(-6) xx3`
`= 60 xx 10^(-6)` A
`= 60 mu` A
Also `i_x = i_y = 60 mu` A
