If 0 denotes the permittivity of free space and E is the flux of the electric field through the area bounded by the closed surface, then dimensions of ( 0 d Edt ) are that of :
- electric charge
- electric field
- electric current
- electric potential
Answer
(3) electric current
Solution
By Gauss's law, 0 E = q (charge enclosed).
0 d Edt = dqdt, which has the dimensions of current, [A].
This is Maxwell's displacement current, id = 0 d Edt.
