Question

Aicharya · Accepted Answer

By Maxwell's equation for a time varying voltage (AC voltage), both conduction and displacement currents are the same. Therefore,

$I_{d i s p l a c e m e n t} = I_{c o n d u c t i o n} = \frac{V_{r m s}}{X_{C}} = \frac{V_{r m s}}{\frac{1}{ω C}} = 230 \times 300 \times 200 \times 10^{- 12} = 13 .8 μA$
