Maxwell's displacement current

Question

A parallel plate of capacitor made of circular plates each of radius 20.0cm has a capacitance 100pF. The capacitor is connected to a source of 220 V and angular frequency of  200rad/s, the rms value of the displacement current is __________μA 

Moderate
Solution

Given : Erms=220V,ω=200rad/s

Capacitance,  C=100pF=100×1012F
Rms value of the displacement current is same as  conduction current =  Irms=ErmsXC
Irms=Erms1/ωC               Irms=Erms×ωC =220×200×100×1012=44×107=4.4×106         
Irms=4.4μA
