A parallel-plate air condenser whose each plate has an area is connected in series to an ac circuit. Find the electric field strength amplitude (in V/cm) in the capacitor if the sinusoidal current amplitude in lead wires is equal to and the current frequency equals .
Answer:
7
Solution:
For a sinusoidal electric field , the time derivative is .
So, the amplitude of the displacement current density is .
The total current amplitude () in the capacitor is related to the displacement current density amplitude by the area :
Now, we can solve for the electric field strength amplitude :
Substitute the given values:
.
The final answer is .
