8.2 A parallel plate capacitor (Fig. 8.7) made of circular plates each of radius R = 6.0 cm has a capacitance C = 100 pF. The capacitor is connected to a 230 V AC supply with a (angular) frequency of 300
(a) What is the RMS value of the conduction current?
(b) Is the conduction current equal to the displacement current?
(c) Determine the amplitude of B at a point 3.0 cm from the axis between the plates.

(a)
Hint: \(I_{rms}=\frac{V}{X_{C}}\)
Step 1: Find the capacitive reactance.
\(X_{C}=\frac{1}{\omega C}=\frac{1}{300\times 100\times 10^{-12}}=\frac{1}{3}\times 10^{8}~\Omega\)
Step 2: Find RMS value of conduction current.
The radius of each circular plate,
RMS value of conduction current,
(b)
Hint: Recall the relation between conduction and displacement current.
Yes, the conduction current is equal to displacement current.
(c)
Hint: Use the relation between magnetic field and peak value of current.
Step 1: Find peak value of current.
\(I_{0}=\sqrt{2}I_{rms}=\sqrt{2}\times6.9\times10^{-6}~A\)
Step 2: Find magnetic field.
Magnetic field is given by:
where r = Distance between the plates from the axis = 3.0 cm = 0.03 m
