Maxwell's displacement current

Question

Sea water at frequency V=2×108Hz has permittivity 600, permeability, μμ0 and resistivity  ρ=0.50Ωm.Imagine a parallel plate capacitor with plate gap of 1m,  immersed in sea water and driven by an alternating Voltage of 200V then the maximum conduction current density is _______VΩm2

Moderate
Solution

Applied electric field,  E=V0d

The max conduction current density is  JC=Eρ=V0ρd
 JC=200×21×1=400VΩm2
