Question
Why does the absence of conduction current in certain regions necessitate the concept of displacement
current?
Explanation
**Ampere-Maxwell law** ∮ B·dl = μ₀(I_c + ε₀ dΦ_E/dt) generalizes Ampere's law, displacement current arises from time-varying electric field, source of magnetic field like conduction current. For rate of change of flux 2×10¹¹ V·m/s, I_d = ε₀×2×10¹¹ =8.85×10⁻¹²×2×10¹¹=1.77 A. In regions without conduction current, such as between capacitor plates or in free space, a changing electric field still generates a magnetic field via displacement current, maintaining consistency in electromagnetic theory. Using c = fλ, E₀/B₀ = c, I_d = ε₀ dΦ_E/dt, and spectrum classification λ = c/f, evaluation yields To explain magnetic field generation, illustrating EM wave transverse nature and Maxwell's displacement current concept.
