A resistance and a capacitor of reactance are connected in series across a V source. When the capacitor is charged, the peak value of the displacement current is:
2.2 A
11 A
4.4 A
11\sqrt{2} A
The displacement current () in the capacitor is equal to the conduction current () flowing in the series circuit. In an AC circuit, the peak displacement current corresponds to the peak conduction current (). Given: Resistance , Capacitive Reactance , Source Voltage V. The impedance of the series RC circuit is . The peak voltage of the source is V. The peak current is A . The condition '50% charged' refers to the instantaneous state, but the peak value of the current is a constant property of the steady-state AC circuit.
