The charge on a parallel plate capacitor varies as $q = q_0 \cos(2\pi \nu t)$. The plates are very large and close together (area $= A$,separation $= d$). Neglecting the edge effects,find the displacement current through the capacitor.

  • A
    $I_d = 2\pi \nu q_0 \sin(2\pi \nu t)$
  • B
    $I_d = -2\pi \nu q_0 \sin(2\pi \nu t)$
  • C
    $I_d = 2\pi \nu q_0 \cos(2\pi \nu t)$
  • D
    $I_d = -2\pi \nu q_0 \cos(2\pi \nu t)$
