A parallel plate capacitor having plate area ‘A’ and plate separation ‘d’ is joined to a battery of emf ‘V’ and internal resistance ‘R’ at t=0 . Consider a plane surface of area $A / 3,$ parallel to the plates and situated symmetrically between them. Find the displacement current through this surface as a function of time. [ The charge on the capacitor at time ‘t’ is given by $q = C V [1 - e^{\frac{t}{τ}}] w h e r e τ = C R$ ]

An Intiative by Sri Chaitanya

$i_{d} = \frac{V}{2 R} e^{\frac{- t d}{\in_{0} A R}}$

$i_{d} = \frac{V}{3 R} e^{\frac{- t d}{\in_{0} A R}}$

$i_{d} = \frac{2 V}{3 R} e^{\frac{- 2 t d}{\in_{0} A R}}$

$i_{d} = \frac{3 V}{2 R} e^{\frac{- 3 t d}{\in_{0} A R}}$

answer is B.
