Question
A parallel plate capacitor is being charged by a time varying current. Explain briefly how Ampere's circuital law is generalized to incorporate the effect due to the displacement current.

Answer
According to Ampere's circuital law, $\oint\overline{\text{B}}.\overline{\text{dl}} = \mu_{o}\text{I}_{en}$
For C1 $\oint\overline{\text{B}}.\overline{\text{dl}} = \mu_{o}\text{I}_{en}$
For C2 $\oint\overline{\text{B}}.\overline{\text{dl}} = 0 $
There is an inconsistency in Ampere's circuital law.To explain this displacement current was incorporated.
Using Ampere's law, we find different values of B for the two loops.
Hence displacement current was introduced.

Radii of two circular current carrying coils are $r_1$ and $r_2$ respectively and number of turns in them are $n_1$ and $n_2$ respectively. They are joined in series. Prove that the ratio of produced magnetic fields at their centers is $n_1 r_2: n_2 r_1$. If coils are joined in parallel, then the ratio of magnetic fields produced at the centers is equivalent to $\left(r_2 / r_1\right)^2$.
