$A$ capacitor of capacitance $C$ is connected across an $AC$ source of voltage $V$,given by $V = V_{0} \sin \omega t$. The displacement current between the plates of the capacitor would then be given by:

  • A
    $I_{d} = V_{0} \omega C \cos \omega t$
  • B
    $I_{d} = \frac{V_{0}}{\omega C} \cos \omega t$
  • C
    $I_{d} = \frac{V_{0}}{\omega C} \sin \omega t$
  • D
    $I_{d} = V_{0} \omega C \sin \omega t$

$A$ long straight cable of length $l$ is placed symmetrically along $z-$ axis and has radius $a (a << l)$. The cable consists of a thin wire and a co-axial conducting tube. An alternating current $I(t) = I_0 \sin(2\pi \nu t)$ flows down the central thin wire and returns along the co-axial conducting tube. The induced electric field at a distance $s$ from the wire inside the cable is $\vec{E}(s,t) = \mu_0 I_0 \nu \cos(2\pi \nu t) \ln(s/a) \hat{k}$.
$(i)$ Calculate the displacement current density inside the cable.
$(ii)$ Integrate the displacement current density across the cross-section of the cable to find the total displacement current $I_d$.
$(iii)$ Compare the conduction current $I_0$ with the displacement current $I_d$.
