But a small capacitance " conducts " a small displacement current .-- Wjbeaty 12 : 58, 23 November 2006 ( UTC)

In the case that the voltage source is V 0 cos ( ?t ), the displacement current can be expressed as:
23.
Similarly, within a freely propagating electromagnetic wave, the current can also be just an abstract displacement current, instead of involving charge carriers.
24.
Differentiating this equation with respect to time defines the " displacement current density ", which therefore has two components in a dielectric:
25.
A capacitor of large capacitance connected across AC voltage will conduct a large displacement current and may fail or damage the generator.
26.
Which recover the Kirchhoff law with the inclusion the displacement current across the surface S _ R that is not covered by electrodes.
27.
Only static situations are considered in what follows, so "'P ( r ) "'has no time dependence, and there is no displacement current.

An occasional contributor, Ivor Catt, sparked controversy with an article on electromagnetism in December 1978 by challenging the validity of Maxwell's displacement current.
29.
He added this displacement current to Amp�re's circuital law at equation 112 in his 1861 paper " On Physical Lines of Force ".

With the addition of the displacement current, Maxwell was able to hypothesize ( correctly ) that light was a form of electromagnetic wave.
