Question

what is the significance of Maxwell modification of ampere's law​

Answer 1

Answer:

Maxwell found the shortcoming in Ampere's law and he modified Ampere's law to include time-varying electric fields. For Ampere's circuital law to be correct Maxwell assumed that there hasto be some current existing between the plates of the capacitor. Outside the capacitor current was due to the flow of electrons.

Answer 2

The significance of Maxwell's modification of Ampere's law is as follows:-

• Ampere's law was found to be inconsistent when the applied electric field was changing with time.
• Maxwell introduced the concept of displacement current. It can be defined as the current which exists due to the variation of electric flux with time.
• So, the modified form of Ampere's law by Maxwell said that the line integral of the Magnetic field due to a closed circuit is equal to the sum of conduction current and time derivate of displacement current through any surface linked to it.
