  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. Series and parallel springs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Series_and_parallel_springs

    Equivalent Spring Constant (Series) When putting two springs in their equilibrium positions in series attached at the end to a block and then displacing it from that equilibrium, each of the springs will experience corresponding displacements x 1 and x 2 for a total displacement of x 1 + x 2. We will be looking for an equation for the force on ...

  4. Ampère's circuital law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ampère's_circuital_law

    In 1865 he generalized the equation to apply to time-varying currents by adding the displacement current term, resulting in the modern form of the law, sometimes called the Ampère–Maxwell law, [3] [4] [5] which is one of Maxwell's equations that form the basis of classical electromagnetism.

  5. Rosser's equation (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosser's_equation_(physics)

    Rosser's Equation is given by the following: + = = where: is the conduction-current density, is the transverse current density, is time, and is the scalar potential.. To understand Selvan's quotation we need the following terms: is charge density, is the magnetic vector potential, and is the displacement field.

  6. Maxwell's equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell's_equations

    In the macroscopic equations, the influence of bound charge Q b and bound current I b is incorporated into the displacement field D and the magnetizing field H, while the equations depend only on the free charges Q f and free currents I f.

  7. On Physical Lines of Force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_Physical_Lines_of_Force

    It was also in this 1861 paper that Maxwell first introduced the displacement current term which is now included in Ampère's circuital law. But it wasn't until his next paper in 1865, "A Dynamical Theory of the Electromagnetic Field" that Maxwell used this displacement current term to derive the electromagnetic wave equation.

  8. Electric displacement field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_displacement_field

    The displacement field satisfies Gauss's law in a dielectric: = = In this equation, ρ f {\displaystyle \rho _{\text{f}}} is the number of free charges per unit volume. These charges are the ones that have made the volume non-neutral, and they are sometimes referred to as the space charge .

  9. Series and parallel circuits - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Series_and_parallel_circuits

    A series circuit with a voltage source (such as a battery, or in this case a cell) and three resistance units. Two-terminal components and electrical networks can be connected in series or parallel. The resulting electrical network will have two terminals, and itself can participate in a series or parallel topology.
