Concepts and Formulas to Remember
4 : Distinction from Conduction Current
Solution :
Know that unlike conduction current, displacement current does not involve physical movement of charge.
-
Maxwell’s Amendment to Ampère’s Law:
Understand each term and its implications in different scenarios. -
Displacement Current Density:
This is useful in calculating the displacement current in various configurations. -
Displacement Current in a Capacitor:
Here, ( A ) is the area of the capacitor plates, and ( E ) is the electric field between them. -
Electric Field in a Parallel Plate Capacitor:
Where σ is the surface charge density on the plates. -
Relation between Electric Flux and Displacement Current:
Where ΦE is the electric flux.
