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.

  1. Maxwell’s Amendment to Ampère’s Law: [×B=μ0J+μ0ε0Et] Understand each term and its implications in different scenarios.

  2. Displacement Current Density: [Jd=ε0Et] This is useful in calculating the displacement current in various configurations.

  3. Displacement Current in a Capacitor: [Id=ε0AdEdt] Here, ( A ) is the area of the capacitor plates, and ( E ) is the electric field between them.

  4. Electric Field in a Parallel Plate Capacitor: [E=σε0] Where σ is the surface charge density on the plates.

  5. Relation between Electric Flux and Displacement Current: [Id=ε0dΦEdt] Where ΦE is the electric flux.
