Question
Explain the origin of displacement current?
✓
Answer
- Maxwell pointed a major flaw in the Ampere’s law for time dependant fields.
- He noticed that the magnetic field can be generated not only by electric current but also by changing electric field.
- Therefore, he added one more term to the equation describing Ampere’s law. This term is called the displacement current.
