Displacement CurrentHardQuestion 31558

Question

Between the plates of a charging capacitor, the continuity of Ampere's law is maintained by:
  1. A
    Conduction current
  2. B
    Displacement current
    Correct
  3. C
    Magnetic current
  4. D
    Bound current

Correct answer

Displacement current

Explanation

Maxwell introduced displacement current I_d = ε₀ dΦ_E/dt to account for the changing electric field between capacitor plates, making Ampere's law consistent.
