Correct answer: 1320

  1. Use the charging relation for a capacitor

For a capacitor, I=C dVdtI = C\,\frac{dV}{dt}I=CdtdV​ So, C=IdV/dtC = \frac{I}{dV/dt}C=dV/dtI​

Given: I=0.15 A,dVdt=7×108 V/sI = 0.15\ \text{A}, \qquad \frac{dV}{dt} = 7\times 10^8\ \text{V/s}I=0.15 A,dtdV​=7×108 V/s

Hence, C=0.157×108C = \frac{0.15}{7\times 10^8}C=7×1080.15​

  1. Capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor

For parallel plates, C=ε0AdC = \frac{\varepsilon_0 A}{d}C=dε0​A​ where A=πr2A = \pi r^2A=πr2

Given radius: r=10 cm=0.1 mr = 10\ \text{cm} = 0.1\ \text{m}r=10 cm=0.1 m

So area is A=π(0.1)2=π×0.01A = \pi (0.1)^2 = \pi \times 0.01A=π(0.1)2=π×0.01

Using π=227\pi = \frac{22}{7}π=722​, A=227×0.01=22700 m2A = \frac{22}{7}\times 0.01 = \frac{22}{700}\ \text{m}^2A=722​×0.01=70022​ m2

  1. Find distance ddd

From C=ε0AdC = \frac{\varepsilon_0 A}{d}C=dε0​A​ we get d=ε0ACd = \frac{\varepsilon_0 A}{C}d=Cε0​A​

Substitute C=IdV/dtC = \frac{I}{dV/dt}C=dV/dtI​: d=ε0A⋅dV/dtId = \varepsilon_0 A\cdot \frac{dV/dt}{I}d=ε0​A⋅IdV/dt​

Now put values: d=9×10−12×22700×7×1080.15d = 9\times 10^{-12}\times \frac{22}{700}\times \frac{7\times 10^8}{0.15}d=9×10−12×70022​×0.157×108​

Simplify: 22700×7=22100=0.22\frac{22}{700}\times 7 = \frac{22}{100} = 0.2270022​×7=10022​=0.22

So, d=9×10−12×0.22×1080.15d = 9\times 10^{-12}\times 0.22\times \frac{10^8}{0.15}d=9×10−12×0.22×0.15108​

Also, 9×0.22=1.989\times 0.22 = 1.989×0.22=1.98

Thus, d=1.98×10−12×1080.15d = 1.98\times 10^{-12}\times \frac{10^8}{0.15}d=1.98×10−12×0.15108​

d=1.98×10−40.15d = \frac{1.98\times 10^{-4}}{0.15}d=0.151.98×10−4​

d=13.2×10−4=1.32×10−3 md = 13.2\times 10^{-4} = 1.32\times 10^{-3}\ \text{m}d=13.2×10−4=1.32×10−3 m

  1. Convert to micrometre

Since 1 μm=10−6 m1\ \mu\text{m} = 10^{-6}\ \text{m}1 μm=10−6 m

d=1.32×10−3 m=1.32×103 μm=1320 μmd = 1.32\times 10^{-3}\ \text{m} = 1.32\times 10^3\ \mu\text{m} = 1320\ \mu\text{m}d=1.32×10−3 m=1.32×103 μm=1320 μm

Therefore, the required integer value is 1320\boxed{1320}1320​

  1. Comparison with stored answer

Stored correct answer = 132013201320

This matches the derived result.
