A parallel plate capacitor is charged by connecting it to a battery through a resistor. If

I

is the current in the circuit, then in the gap between the plates: A parallel plate capacitor is charged by connecting it to a battery through a resistor. If I is the current in the

A parallel plate capacitor is charged by connecting it to a battery through a resistor. If I is the current in the

Options

ADisplacement current of magnitude equal to I flows in the same direction as I
BDisplacement current of magnitude equal to I flows in a direction opposite to that of $I$
CDisplacement current of magnitude greater than I flows but can be in any direction
DThere is no current

Correct answer

A. Displacement current of magnitude equal to I flows in the same direction as I

Step-by-step solution

According to modified Ampere's law

\oint B . d l=\mu_0

\left(I_C+I_D\right)

For Loop

L_1 \quad I_C \neq 0

and

I_D=0

For Loop

L_2 \quad I_C=0

and

I_D \neq 0

Due to

\mathrm{KCL} \quad I_C=I_D
