Maxwell's displacement current

Question

A parallel plate capacitor made of circular plates each of radius 10.0cm has a capacitance 200pF . The capacitor is connected to a 200Vac supply with an angular frequency of 100 rad/s.  The rms value of the conduction current is ______μA 

Moderate
Solution

Given :  Erms=200V,ω=100rad/s
Capacitance,  C=200×1012F
RMS value of the conduction  current is  Irms=ErmsXC
 Irms=Erms1/ωC=ωC×Erms
 Irms=100×200×1012×200=4×106A=4μA
