A parallel plate capacitor as shown in figure made of circular plates each of radius R = 6.0 cm has a capacitance C = 100 pF. The capacitor is connected to a 230 V ac supply with a (angular) frequency of 300 rad . (a) What is the rms value of the conduction current? (b) Is the conduction current equal to the displacement current? (c) Determine the amplitude of B at a point 3.0 cm from the axis between the plates. 

Solution:
(a) Capacity of capacitor C = 100 pF Capacitive reactance = = ∴ = Ω If is the rms value of conduction current = = 230 × 3 × = 690 × = 6.9 µA (b) Yes, the conduction current in wires is always equal to displacement current within plates. (c) To find magnetic field B of a point 3 cm from the axis within plates, let us assume a loop of radius 3 cm with center on axis. Now modified Ampere’s Law.
∫ = B × 2πr = For amplitude of magnetic field, we require = = 6.9 µA So, = = 2 × × = 1.63 × T
