4 13 Ampere’s Law and the Continuity Equation. The new form of Ampere’s law is consistent with the continuity equation as well as with the differential form of Gauss’s law Displacement Current. Displacement current is the type of current that flows between the plates of a capacitor. An alternative, differential form of Faraday’s law of induction is express in the equation ∇ × →E = −∂→B ∂t ∇ × E → = − ∂ B → ∂ t. Faraday’s law of induction is one of the four equations in Maxwell’s equations, governing all electromagnetic phenomena.

State Faraday's Law
With the help of Stokes' theorem, Ampère's integral law (1.4.1)can now be stated as
That is, by virtue of (2.5.4), the contour integral in (1.4.1) isreplaced by a surface integral. The surface S is fixed in time, so thetime derivative in (1) can be taken inside the integral. Because Sis also arbitrary, the integrands in (1) must balance.
This is the differential form of Ampère's law. In the last term,which is called the displacement current density, a partial timederivative is used to make it clear that the location (x, y, z) at whichthe expression is evaluated is held fixed as the time derivative istaken.
Faraday's Law In Differential Formulation
In Sec. 1.5, it was seen that the integral forms of Ampère's andGauss' laws combined to give the integral form of the chargeconservation law. Thus, we should expect that the differential formsof these laws would also combine to give the differential chargeconservation law. To see this, we need the identity ( x A) = 0 (Problem 2.4.5). Thus, the divergence of(2) gives
Here the time and space derivatives have been interchanged in thelast term. By Gauss' differential law, (2.3.1), the time derivativeis of the charge density, and so (3) becomes the differential formof charge conservation, (2.3.3). Note that we are taking adifferential view of the interrelation between laws that parallels theintegral developments of Sec. 1.5.
Finally, Stokes' theorem converts Faraday's integral law (1.6.1) to integrations over S only. It follows that the differentialform of Faraday's law is
