Q.

A 100 Ω resistance and a capacitor of 100 Ω reactance are connected in series across a 220 V source. When the capacitor is 50% charged, the peak value of the displacement current is              [2016]

1 2.2 A  
2 11 A  
3 4.4 A  
4 112A

Here, R=100Ω,  XC=100Ω

Net impedance, Z=R2+XC2=1002Ω

Peak value of displacement current = Maximum conduction current in the circuit

=ε0Z=22021002=2.2A
