The charge on a parallel plate capacitor varies as q=q0cos2πνt. The plates are very large and close together (area = A, separation =d). Neglecting the edge effects, find the displacement current through the capacitor.

Hint: The displacement current depends on the variation of charge.
Step 1: Find the rate of change of charge.

Here,q=q0cos2πνt(given)
PuttingthisvaleinEq(i),weget;
Id=Ic=-q0sin2πνt×2πν
Id=Ic=2πνq0sin2πνt
