Figure
8.6 shows a capacitor made of two circular plates each of radius 12
cm, and separated by 5.0 cm. The capacitor is being charged by an
external source (not shown in the figure). The charging current is
constant and equal to 0.15 A.



(a) Calculate
the capacitance and the rate of charge of potential difference
between the plates.



(b) Obtain
the displacement current across the plates.



(c) Is
Kirchhoff’s first rule (junction rule) valid at each plate of
the capacitor? Explain.
