Faraday's Law and Displacement Current

Induction, the displacement current that completes Ampere’s law, and relaxation time.

Lesson 33 · Module 4: Dynamic Fields · Maj Ellis · Dr. Neil Rogers

Learning Objectives

  1. I can articulate the significance of the displacement current and calculate it, given a time-varying electric field.
  2. I can articulate the meaning of and calculate the relaxation time for a variety of materials.
