SECTION -B

How does Ampere-Maxwell law explain the flow of current through a capacitor when it is being charged by a battery? Write the expression for the displacement current in terms of the rate of change of electric flux.
Solution:
When a battery is attached to a capacitor, conduction current flow in wire outside capacitor. In the capacitor the Electric flux ϕE=EA
Where, E=Qε0A,Q=ε0EA
∴ I=dQdt=ε0dϕEdt
This maintains the current in the capacitor.

Amperes-Maxwell law states that displacement current comes into existence due to rate of change of electric flux w.r.t. time.

∴ Displacement current Id=ε0dϕEdt
