A parallel plate capacitor is charged by connecting it to a battery through a resistor. If \(i\) is the current in the circuit, then in the gap between the plates:
1. displacement current of magnitude equal to \(i\) flows in the same direction as \(i\).
2. displacement current of magnitude equal to \(i\) flows in a direction opposite to that of \(i\).
3. displacement current of magnitude greater than \(i\) flows but can be in any direction.
4. there is no current.

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

A capacitor of capacitance \(C\) is connected across an AC source of voltage \(V\), given by;
\(V=V_0 \sin \omega t\)
The displacement current between the plates of the capacitor would then be given by:
1. \( I_d=\frac{V_0}{\omega C} \sin \omega t \)
2. \( I_d=V_0 \omega C \sin \omega t \)
3. \( I_d=V_0 \omega C \cos \omega t \)
4. \( I_d=\frac{V_0}{\omega C} \cos \omega t\)

A parallel plate capacitor of capacitance \(20~\mu\text{F}\) is being charged by a voltage source whose potential is changing at the rate of \(3~\text{V/s}\). The conduction current through the connecting wires, and the displacement current through the plates of the capacitor, would be, respectively:
1. zero, zero
2. zero, \(60~\mu\text{A}\)
3. \(60~\mu\text{A}\)\(60~\mu\text{A}\)
4. \(60~\mu\text{A}\), zero
