Rms value of conduction current, I = v/ xc
Where, Xc = Capacitive reactance =1/ωC
Therefore ,I = V x ωC = 230 x 300 x 100 x 10–12 = 6.9 x 10-6 A = 6.9 μA

Differentiation on both sides with respect to time (t) gives:
dq/dt = C dV/dt
But dq/dt = current (I)
Therefore ,dV/dt = I /C
=> 0.15/(8.0032 x 10⁻12) = 1.87 x 10⁹ V/s
Therefore, the change in potential difference between the plates is 1.87 x 109 V/s.
