Q 73 Marks Question3 Marks
A point charge is moving along a straight line with a constant velocity u. Consider a small area A perpendicular to the direction of motion of the charge (El). Calculate the displacement current through the area when its distance from the charge is x. The value of x is not large so that the electric field at any instant is essentially given by Coulomb's law.
