A parallel plate capacitor has two circular plates of radius R each, separated by a distance d. The magnitude of the instantaneous electric field between the plates is given by E=E0sinωt, where E0 and ω are positive constants. A positive value of E corresponds to the upward direction as shown in the figure.

IMPORTANT

A long wire of radius R is made of two different metals, depositing one metal over the other. The inner core occupies the region r<R and the outer region R<r2R. Because of difference in the conductivity of the two wires, only 10%of the total current flows through the inner core and the balance through the second metal. The current density in each metal is constant.
