Displacement Current

विस्थापन धारा

In Class 12 Physics, this topic explains how a changing electric field can produce magnetic effects even where no actual charge flows, such as the gap between capacitor plates. Students learn the idea of displacement current, distinguish it from conduction current, and understand its role in Maxwell’s extension of Ampere’s law. The concept helps connect electric and magnetic fields and shows how changing fields support the propagation of electromagnetic waves in Chapter 8: Electromagnetic Waves.
