displacement current

Displacement current applies not only to material media, but to free space as well.

Some authors apply the name displacement current to only this contribution.

In the first additional part, he discussed the nature of electrostatics and displacement current.

Next, this displacement current is related to the charging of the capacitor.

In free space, the displacement current is related to the time rate of change of electric field.

The modern justification of displacement current is explained below.

This conflict is removed by addition of the displacement current, as then:

This polarization is the displacement current as it was originally conceived by Maxwell.

Maxwell introduced the concept of displacement currents to describe these situations.

The moment he conceived the idea of the displacement current, a new era started in the history of mankind.

Maxwell discovers that displacement current produces electromagnetic waves or light.

The radials should ideally be long enough to extend beyond the displacement current region near the antenna.

When the displacement currents are included, Kirchhoff's current law once again holds.

Maxwell's original explanation for displacement current focused upon the situation that occurs in dielectric media.

The added displacement current also leads to wave propagation by taking the curl of the equation for magnetic field.

The current that arises from shifting charges within a capacitor is called a displacement current.

A "perfect dielectric" is a material that has no conductivity, thus exhibiting only a displacement current.

Only static situations are considered in what follows, so P has no time dependence, and there is no displacement current.

For greater discussion see Displacement current.

Few topics in modern physics have caused as much confusion and misunderstanding as that of displacement current.

He proposed the displacement current essentially because the equations were aesthetically-more appealing with it than without it.

Substituting this form for D in the expression for displacement current, it has two components:

(Interestingly, Kirchhoff derived the telegrapher's equations in 1857 without using displacement current.

The scalar value of displacement current may also be expressed in terms of electric flux:

Maxwell extended this view of displacement currents in dielectrics to the ether of free space.
