Electrical Engineering QUESTION #2147
Question 1
Which Maxwell’s equation was modified by Maxwell himself to include the displacement current term $\frac{\partial \mathbf{D}}{\partial t}$?
  • Gauss's Law for Electricity
  • Gauss's Law for Magnetism
  • Faraday's Law of Induction
  • Ampere’s Circuital Law✔️
Correct Answer Explanation
Maxwell added $\frac{\partial \mathbf{D}}{\partial t}$ to Ampere's Law ($\nabla \times \mathbf{H} = \mathbf{J} + \frac{\partial \mathbf{D}}{\partial t}$) to satisfy the continuity equation for time-varying fields.
