charges produce electric fields,
field lines start and end in charges

Maxwell III: Ampere’s law:
electric currents produce magnetic fields

Maxwell IV: Faraday’s law:
changing magnetic fields produce (“induce”)
electric fields

If we are charging a capacitor, there is a
current left and right of the capacitor.
Thus, there is the same magnetic field right and
left of the capacitor, with circular lines around
the wires.
But no magnetic field inside the capacitor?
With a compass, we can verify there is indeed
a magnetic field, equal to the field elsewhere.
But Maxwell reasoned this without any
experiment!
The missing
Maxwell
Equation!
But there is no current producing it! ?

id=0d E/dt
Maxwell’s Fix
We calculate the magnetic field produced by the
currents at left and at right using Ampere’s law :
We can write the current as:
dq d(CV )
dV e 0 A d(Ed)

32.3: Induced Magnetic Fields:
Here B is the magnetic field induced along a
closed loop by the changing electric flux FE
in the region encircled by that loop.
Fig. 32-5 (a) A circular parallel-plate capacitor, shown in side view, is being charged by
a constant current i. (b) A view from within the capacitor, looking toward the plate at
the right in (a).The electric field is uniform, is directed into the page (toward the plate),
and grows in magnitude as the charge on the capacitor increases. The magnetic field
induced by this changing electric field is shown at four points on a circle with a radius r
less than the plate radius R.

The displacement current id = i is
distributed evenly over grey area.

d

of grey area enclosed by each loop.
d =c>b>a
32.3: Induced Magnetic Fields: Ampere Maxwell Law:
Here ienc is the current encircled by the closed
loop.
In a more complete form,
When there is a current but no change in electric
flux (such as with a wire carrying a constant
current), the first term on the right side of the
second equation is zero, and so it reduces to the
first equation, Ampere’s law.
Example, Magnetic Field Induced by
Changing Electric Field:

32.4: Displacement Current:
Comparing the last two terms on the right side of the above equation shows that the
term
must have the dimension of a current. This product is usually treated as
being a fictitious current called the displacement current id:
in which id,enc is the displacement current that is encircled by the integration loop.
The charge q on the plates of a parallel plate capacitor at any time is related to the
magnitude E of the field between the plates at that time by
in which A is
the plate area.
The associated magnetic field are:
