A parallel plate capacitor has a capacitance C=200 pF. It is connected to 230 V ac supply with an angular frequency 300 rad/s. The rms value of conduction current in the circuit and displacement current in the capacitor respectively are :
- 14.3 and 143
- 13.8 and 13.8
- 13.8 and 138
- 1.38 and 1.38
Answer
(2) 13.8 and 13.8
Solution
Irms= VrmsXC=Vrms C
=230 300 200 10-12
=13.8 10-6 A=13.8
current is continuous through the capacitor, displacement current = conduction current =13.8
Answer: (2)
