  2. Displacement current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Displacement_current

    This polarization is the displacement current as it was originally conceived by Maxwell. Maxwell made no special treatment of the vacuum, treating it as a material medium. For Maxwell, the effect of P was simply to change the relative permittivity ε r in the relation D = ε 0 ε r E. The modern justification of displacement current is ...

  3. Electric field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_field

    is the displacement vector from to . Note that ε 0 {\displaystyle \varepsilon _{0}} must be replaced with ε {\displaystyle \varepsilon } , permittivity , when charges are in non-empty media. When the charges q 0 {\displaystyle q_{0}} and q 1 {\displaystyle q_{1}} have the same sign this force is positive, directed away from the other charge ...

  4. Maxwell's equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell's_equations

    Maxwell's addition states that magnetic fields also relate to changing electric fields, which Maxwell called displacement current. The integral form states that electric and displacement currents are associated with a proportional magnetic field along any enclosing curve.

  5. Electric displacement field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_displacement_field

    In physics, the electric displacement field (denoted by D), also called electric flux density is a vector field that appears in Maxwell's equations. It accounts for the electromagnetic effects of polarization and that of an electric field , combining the two in an auxiliary field .

  6. Ampère's circuital law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ampère's_circuital_law

    where current density J D is the displacement current, and J is the current density contribution actually due to movement of charges, both free and bound. Because ∇ ⋅ D = ρ , the charge continuity issue with Ampère's original formulation is no longer a problem. [ 22 ]

  7. Gauss's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss's_law

    Gauss's law can be stated using either the electric field E or the electric displacement field D. This section shows some of the forms with E ; the form with D is below, as are other forms with E .

  8. Current density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_density

    In electromagnetism, current density is the amount of charge per unit time that flows through a unit area of a chosen cross section. [1] The current density vector is defined as a vector whose magnitude is the electric current per cross-sectional area at a given point in space, its direction being that of the motion of the positive charges at this point.
