Seawater at a frequency $f = 9 \times 10^{2} \, Hz$ has permittivity $\varepsilon = 80 \varepsilon_{0}$ and resistivity $\rho = 0.25 \, \Omega m$. Imagine a parallel plate capacitor is immersed in seawater and is driven by an alternating voltage source $V(t) = V_{0} \sin(2 \pi ft)$. Then the conduction current density becomes $10^{x}$ times the displacement current density after time $t = \frac{1}{800} \, s$. The value of $x$ is ......... . $\left(\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0}} = 9 \times 10^{9} \, Nm^{2} C^{-2}\right)$
