Wien's displacement law

                   State the Wien's displacement law? (2021-22)

Wien’s displacement law, also known as Wien’s law, describes the relationship between the wavelength of thermal radiation and the temperature at which a blackbody emits the radiation. 

According to this law, the temperature is inversely proportional to the wavelength at which the radiation has maximum intensity.

 The law was originally formulated by Wilhelm Wien in 1893.

Skin depth

 What do you understand by skin depth?

When an AC current is applied to a conductor, the current concentrates near the surface of the conductor and its strength decreases as you go towards the center of the conductor. The depth till which current flows in a conductor is called as Skin Depth.

The Skin Depth is dependent on the frequency of the current/signal and the resistivity of the material. It inversely proportional to the frequency and directly proportional to the resistivity.

The Skin Depth can be calculated using the following formula:

What is Displacement Current

 What is Displacement Current?

A changing electric field in vacuum or in a dielectric also produces a magnetic field. This implies that a changing electric field is equivalent to a current, which flows till the electric field is changing. This equivalent current produces the same magnetic effects as a conventional current in a conductor is known as displacement current.

⦁ The SI unit of displacement current is the ampere (A)

Applications:

⦁ Understanding electromagnetic waves, such as radio waves and light. 

⦁ Explaining the behavior of capacitors and their role in circuits.

Similarities and dissimilarities between conduction and displacement current

 Write the similarities and dissimilarities between conduction and displacement current.

Similarities:

⦁ Both conduction current and displacement current involve the flow of electric charge.

⦁ The unit of displacement current is the same as that of conduction current, which is measured in amperes (A).

⦁ Both produce magnetic field.

Dissimilarities:

⦁ Conduction current is due to flow of electron and Displacement current is due to change in electric field.

⦁ In free space Conduction current is zero but Displacement current is finite. (like as parallel plate capacitor)

⦁ Conduction current is Independent of frequency while Displacement Current is depends on the frequency of the changing electric field.
