To produce an instantaneous displacement current of $2 \mathrm{~mA}$ in the space between the parallel plates of a capacitor of capacitance $4 \mu \mathrm{F}$, the rate of change of applied variable potential difference $\left(\frac{d V}{d t}\right)$ must be
  1. $200 \mathrm{~V} / \mathrm{s}$
  2. $400 \mathrm{~V} / \mathrm{s}$
  3. $800 \mathrm{~V} / \mathrm{s}$
  4. $500 \mathrm{~V} / \mathrm{s}$

Solution

$\begin{aligned} & \text { Displacement current } i_d=c \frac{d V}{d t} \\ & \Rightarrow 2 \times 10^{-3}=4 \times 10^{-6} \times \frac{d V}{d t} \\ & \Rightarrow \frac{2 \times 10^{-3}}{4 \times 10^{-6}}=\frac{d V}{d t} \\ & \Rightarrow \frac{d V}{d t}=500 \mathrm{~V} / \mathrm{s}\end{aligned}$
