alleryThe extra term Maxwell added to Ampere's law is the:
ADirect current path
BDisplacement current
CConduction current
DAlternating current
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Displacement current
1. A changing electric field also sources a magnetic field.
2. Maxwell gave that source a current-like name.
3. It is the displacement current.
4. So the answer is displacement current.
