Solution

The correct option is D 60μA,60μA
Given, capacitance of capacitor
C=20μF=20×106F
Rate of change of potential (dVdt)=3Vs
q=CV
or, dqdt=CdVdt
or, iC=20×106×3=60×106A=60μA
As we know that id=ic=60μA
[Alternate solution : we know that id=ic and the displacement current has finite value when potential difference across capacitor is changing]
