Electromagnetic Theory

  1. A material has conductivity of 10–2 mho/m and a relative permittivity of 4 the frequency at which conduction current in the medium is equal to the displacement current is—
    1. 45 MHz
    2. 90 MHz
    3. 450 MHz
    4. 900 MHz
Correct Option: A

As hints are provided in the synopsis that displacement current is the rate of change of electric flux density, so we get

JC = σ E, JD =
∂D
⇒ ωD = ω ε0εr E
∂t

so when both currents are equal
JC = JD ⇒ σE = ω ε0 εr E
ω =
σ
ε0 εr

f =
σ
2π × 8.85 × 10–12 × 4

= 4.49 × 1010–3 × 1010 = 45 MHz
