 Displacement Current

• According to Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction, a time-

varying magnetic field induces an emf,
• According to Maxwell, an electric field sets up a current and hence
a magnetic field. Such a current is called displacement current.
• The current that exists inside the capacitor is Displacement
current.
• Conduction current is due to the flow of electrons in a circuit. It
exists even if electrons flow at a uniform rate.
• Displacement current is due to the time-varying electric field. It
does not exist under steady conduction.
• The magnitude of displacement current in case of steady electric
fields in a conducting wire is zero, since the electric field E does
not change with time. 51
 Displacement Current

• When a capacitor starts charging there is no conduction of charge

between the plates.
However, because of change in charge accumulation with time above the
plates,
the electric field changes causing the displacement current.
• Conduction current is the actual current whereas displacement current is
the apparent current produced by time varying electric field.
• The current due to the changing electric field is called displacement
current.
• The displacement current satisfy the property of continuity i.e the sum of
displacement and conduction current remains constant along the closed
path.
• The magnitude of displacement current in case of steady electric fields in a
conducting wire is Zero. 52
