Question
A capacitor in a circuit has a conduction current of \( 1.8 \, \text{A} \) in the wires. What is the
displacement current between the plates?
Explanation
**Microwaves in ovens** cause water molecules to rotate at 2.45 GHz, friction heats food, penetration depth few cm, efficient heating, also radar uses reflection of microwaves from objects, Doppler shift measures speed, medical diathermy uses microwaves for tissue heating. The document states that in a charging capacitor, the displacement current between the plates equals the conduction current in the wires, so i_d = 1.8 A . Using c = fλ, E₀/B₀ = c, I_d = ε₀ dΦ_E/dt, and spectrum classification λ = c/f, evaluation yields 1.8 A, illustrating EM wave transverse nature and Maxwell's displacement current concept.
