MCQ
Displacement current is set up between the plates of a capacitor when the potential difference across the plates is ..............
  • A
    Maximum
  • B
    Zero
  • C
    Minimum
  • Varying

Answer

Correct option: D.
Varying
d
(d)

Displacement current, $I_d=A \varepsilon_0 \frac{d E}{d t}$

So, the potential difference has to change with time
