Question

What is electric displacement field?

Open in App

Solution

The electric displacement field, denoted by D, is a vector field that appears in Maxwell's equations. It accounts for the effects of free and bound charge within materials while its sources are the free charges only. It is given by
$D = ϵ_{0} E + P$
