Q.

A capacitor of capacitance 'C', is connected across an AC source of voltage V, given by 

V=V0sinωt

The displacement current between the plates of the capacitor, would then be given by                   [2021]

1 Id=V0ωCsinωt  
2 Id=V0ωCcosωt  
3 Id=V0ωCcosωt  
4 Id=V0ωCsinωt  

Ans.

(2)

The instantaneous voltage, V=V0sinωt                    ...(i)

Displacement current is given by

id=CdVdt                                                                    ...(ii)

id=Cddt(V0sinωt)    id=CV0ωcosωt
