What capacitance, in μF, has its potential difference increasing at 1.0×10⁶ V/s when the displacement current in the capacitor is 1.0 A?

Guida verificata passo dopo passo

Start by recalling the relationship between the displacement current (I_d), the capacitance (C), and the rate of change of the potential difference (dV/dt). The formula is:

I

_d=C⁢dVdt.

Rearrange the formula to solve for capacitance (C):

C = I

_ddVdt.

Substitute the given values into the formula. The displacement current is

1.0 A

, and the rate of change of potential difference is

1.0 \times 10^{6} \frac{V}{s}

Perform the division to calculate the capacitance:

C = \frac{1.0}{1.0 \times 10^{6}}

. This will give the capacitance in farads (F).

Convert the result from farads (F) to microfarads (μF) by multiplying by

10^{6}

, since

1 μF = 10^{-6} F

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Capacitance

Capacitance is the ability of a capacitor to store electric charge per unit voltage. It is defined as the ratio of the electric charge (Q) stored on one plate of the capacitor to the potential difference (V) across the plates, expressed as C = Q/V. The unit of capacitance is the farad (F), and in this context, we are converting it to microfarads (μF), where 1 μF = 10^-6 F.

Displacement Current

Displacement current is a concept introduced by James Clerk Maxwell to account for changing electric fields in capacitors. It is defined as the rate of change of electric displacement field (D) and is given by the equation I_d = ε_0 (dΦ_E/dt), where ε_0 is the permittivity of free space and Φ_E is the electric flux. In this scenario, the displacement current is equivalent to the actual current flowing through the capacitor, which is 1.0 A.

Displacement vs. Distance

Rate of Change of Voltage

The rate of change of voltage across a capacitor is crucial for understanding how quickly the electric field within the capacitor is changing. It is expressed as dV/dt, and in this case, it is given as 1.0×10^6 V/s. This rate, combined with the displacement current, allows us to relate the capacitance to the current and the changing voltage using the formula I = C(dV/dt), which is essential for solving the problem.
