Study Notes

Displacement current is created due to the combination of electric field and magnetic field in electromagnetic waves.
Conduction current is generated by the flow of charge, while displacement current is created where continuous change in electric flux occurs.
In electromagnetic waves, energy density is determined by the electric and magnetic fields present in the space.
The characteristics of electromagnetic waves and electromagnetic spectrum are discussed in the session.
The session covers topics like displacement current, electric field changes, and energy density of electromagnetic waves.
Feedback from students following the series indicates a positive response and understanding.
Creating a mind map and chapter summary is emphasized for effective revision and understanding.
Displacement current is different from conduction current as it is generated by changing electric flux rather than charge flow.
Electric flux changes occur in cases like charging or discharging a capacitor, leading to displacement current.
In cases like charging or discharging a capacitor, the electric field undergoes changes, resulting in displacement current.
