i) Maxwell's prediction was experimentally confirmed by Heinrich Rudolf Hertz in 1888. The experimental set up used is shown in Figure.
ii) It consists of two metal electrodes which are made of small spherical metals. These are connected to larger spheres and the ends of them are connected to induction coil with very large number of turns. This is to produce very high electromotive force (emf).
iii) Since the coil is maintained at very high potential, air between the electrodes gets ionized and spark (spark means discharge of electricity) is produced.
iv) The gap between electrode (ring type - not completely closed and has a small gap in between) kept at a distance also gets spark. This implies that the energy is transmitted from electrode to the receiver (ring electrode) as a wave, known as electromagnetic waves.

v) If the receiver is rotated by 90° - then no spark is observed by the receiver. This confirms that electromagnetic waves are transverse waves as predicted by Maxwell.
vi) Hertz detected radio waves and also computed the speed of radio waves which is equal to the speed of light (3 x 108m S-1).

According to Ampere's circuital law,
\(\oint _{ s }^{ }{ \overrightarrow { B } .\overrightarrow { dl } } ={ \mu }_{ 0 }I\quad ...(1)\)
As the current flows across the area bounded by loop S1, so
\(\oint _{ { s }_{ 1 },s }^{ }{ \overrightarrow { B } .\overrightarrow { dl } } ={ \mu }_{ 0 }I\quad ...(2)\)
But the area bounded by S2 lies in the region between the plates capacitor where no current flows across it.
\(\therefore \oint _{ { s }_{ 1 } }^{ }{ \overrightarrow { B } .\overrightarrow { dl } } =0\)
Consider that loops enclosing S1 & S2 are infinitesimally close to each other. Then
\(\oint _{ { s }_{ 1 } }^{ }{ \overrightarrow { B } .\overrightarrow { dl } } =\oint _{ { s }_{ 2 } }^{ }{ \overrightarrow { B } .\overrightarrow { dl } } \)
This equation is inconsistent with equations (2) & (3). To remove this maxwell said that a changing electric field (during charging) between the capacitor plates must induce a magnetic field which in turn must be associated with current Id.
\({ I }_{ d }={ \varepsilon }_{ 0 }\left( \frac { d{ \phi }_{ E } }{ dt } \right) \) [\(\frac { d{ \phi }_{ E } }{ dt } \) change in electric flux]
The total current must be
I = Iconduction + Idisplacement
\({ I }_{ c }={ \varepsilon }_{ 0 }\frac { d{ \phi }_{ E } }{ dt } \)
Hence the generalized from of Ampere's circuital law is
\(\oint _{ s }^{ }{ \overrightarrow { B } .\overrightarrow { dl } } ={ \mu }_{ 0 }\left[ { I }_{ c }+{ \varepsilon }_{ 0 }\frac { d{ \phi }_{ E } }{ dt } \right] \)
13.
(i) We have stated Ampere's law as \(\oint \vec{B} \cdot \overrightarrow{d l}=\mu_oi\)
(ii) Where, i is the electric current crossing a surface bounded by a closed curve and the line integral of \(\vec{B}\) is calculated along that closed curve. This equation is valid only when the electric field at the surface does not change with time.
(iii) Maxwell strongly believed that when the time varying magnetic field produces an electric field, the time varying electric field must produce a magnetic field.
(iv) To understand how a varying electric field produces magnetic field, let us consider a situation of charging a parallel plate capacitor.
(v) Let ic be the conduction current. To calculate the magnetic field at P (fig. 1 ) an amperian loop. S1 is drawn. Applying Ampere circuital law for the surface S1, we get
\(\oint \vec{B} \cdot \overrightarrow{d l}=\mu_0 i_c\) Where, \(\mu_0\) is permeability of free space.
(vi) Applying the same for the surface S2, we get \(\oint \vec{B} \cdot \overrightarrow{d l}=0.\)
Because the surface S2 nowhere touches the wire carrying conduction current. Therefore for the point P at one surface (S1) it has some value and at another surface (S2) it has zero value.
(vii) So, Maxwell believed that there must be a current associated with the changing electric field in between the capacitor and he called that current as displacement current.
(viii) Applying Gauss law to the electric flux between the plates of the capacitor \(\phi_E=\oint \vec{E} \cdot \overrightarrow{\mathrm{dA}}=E A=\frac{q}{\varepsilon_0}\) where, A is the area of the plate.
The change in electric flux is \(\frac{d \phi_F}{d t}=\frac{1}{\varepsilon_0} \frac{d q}{d t} (or) \frac{\mathrm{dq}}{\mathrm{dt}}=\mathrm{i}_{\mathrm{d}}=\varepsilon_0 \frac{\mathrm{d} \phi_{\mathrm{E}}}{\mathrm{dt}}\), where id is the displacement current.
(ix) The displacement current can be defined as the current which comes into play in the region in which the electric field and electric flux are changing with time.
(x) So, Maxwell modified Ampere's law \(\oint_{l} \vec{B} \cdot d \vec{l}=\mu_{0} i_c+\mu_{0}-i_d\) which means the total current enclosed by the surface is sum of conduction current and displacement current.
