alleryWhich additional current did Maxwell propose to remove the inconsistency?
ADisplacement current
BDispleasing current
CDisappearing current
DDiscouraging current
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Displacement current
1. The original circuital law failed for a charging capacitor.
2. Maxwell added a second contribution to fix it.
3. He suggested the existence of an additional current, called the displacement current.
4. So the answer is displacement current.
