Question

Displacement current goes through the gap between the plates of a capacitor when the charge of the capacitor
(a) increases
(b) decreases
(c) does not change
(d) is zero

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) is the answer of the question

Answer 2

(a) increases

(b) decreases

Displacement current inside a capacitor,

id=ε0dϕEdt, where

ϕE is the electric flux inside the capacitor.

Up to the time the electric flux changes, there will be a displacement current. This is possible when the charge on a capacitor changes. Therefore, the displacement current goes through the gap between the plates of a capacitor when the charge of the capacitor or electric field increases or decreases inside the capacitor.
