$A$ parallel plate capacitor is completely immersed in a liquid of resistivity $\rho = 0.25 \, \Omega m$ and relative permittivity $\epsilon_r = 80$. If the plates of the capacitor are connected to an alternating voltage source of $V = V_0 \sin(\omega t)$ at a frequency of $f = 0.4 \, GHz$,then the ratio of the amplitudes of the displacement current $(I_d)$ and conduction current $(I_c)$ is:

  • A
    $3: 7$
  • B
    $2: 5$
  • C
    $2: 3$
  • D
    $4: 9$
