What is the significance of Maxwell's displacement current in the context of electromagnetic waves?
**Displacement current** I_d = ε₀ dΦ_E/dt, Φ_E = ∫ E·dA electric flux (V·m), ε₀=8.85×10⁻¹² F/m, ensures continuity of current in charging capacitor where conduction current stops between plates, I_d equals conduction current in wires, 3 A conduction ⇒ 3 A displacement, maintaining Ampere's law ∮ B·dl = μ₀(I_c+I_d). The document explains that displacement current leads to the generation of a magnetic field from a changing electric field, which, combined with Faraday's law, results in the propagation of electromagnetic waves. Using c = fλ, E₀/B₀ = c, I_d = ε₀ dΦ_E/dt, and spectrum classification
