Does an
electric field changing with time give rise to a magnetic field James Clerk
Maxwell (1831-1879), argued that this was indeed the case – not only
an electric current but also a time-varying electric field generates magnetic
field While applying the Ampere’s circuital law to find magnetic field at a
point outside a capacitor connected to a time-varying current, Maxwell
noticed an inconsistency in the Ampere’s circuital law He suggested the
existence of an additional current, called by him, the displacement
current to remove this inconsistency
